Minnesota Vikings vs Buffalo Bills Team News

Minnesota Vikings Team News

The Headliner: Quarterback Kyler Murray is officially OUT after suffering a Grade 2 hamstring strain. Veteran backup Carson Wentz takes over the starting QB1 duties. Rumours suggest Murray’s recovery could sideline him beyond this week, putting extreme focus on how Wentz directs the offense.
Key Absences: The offense takes additional hits as starting wide receiver Jauan Jennings (calf) and running back Demond Claiborne (knee) have both been ruled OUT after sustaining injuries during Thursday's practice session.
Questionable: Depth in the secondary is heavily impacted, with safeties Theo Jackson (quad) and Jay Ward (knee) tagged as questionable.
Cleared to Play: There is great news up front as star left tackle Christian Darrisaw (shoulder) practiced fully and carries no injury designation. Linebacker Jake Golday (calf) and cornerback Isaiah Rodgers (ankle) are also cleared.

Buffalo Bills Team News

Key Absences: Wide receiver Joshua Palmer (hamstring) is officially OUT after leaving last week’s game. He did not manage to practice all week.
Offensive Line Crisis: The Bills are sweating over the left side of their trench. Star left tackle Dion Dawkins (ribs) missed practice all week and is questionable. Starting left guard Alec Anderson (ankle) returned to practice on Saturday but remains questionable. If Dawkins cannot protect Josh Allen, Tylan Grable is expected to deputise.
Activation Decisions: Defensive back Jordan Hancock (hamstring) and wide receiver Tyrell Shavers (knee) are both listed as questionable. Because both are technically designated to return from Injured Reserve lists, Buffalo has until Monday afternoon to officially activate them to the 53-man roster if they are to play.
Cleared to Play: Right tackle Spencer Brown (back) did not receive an injury designation after practicing fully all week. Top playmakers DJ Moore, Keon Coleman, and Dalton Kincaid are fully healthy and cleared for Monday night.
