LB Eric Kendricks not on injury report ahead of Vikings and Saints game

Kendricks injured his quad in Week 16 against the Packers.

The Vikings will not have cornerbacks Mackensie Alexander (knee) or Mike Hughes (neck) on Sunday against the Saints.

That’s the bad news.

The good news, however, is that All-Pro linebacker Eric Kendricks (quad) is not on the injury report after being limited in practice earlier this week. Kendricks injured that quad in Week 16 against the Packers.

While Kendricks might not be 100 percent, the Vikings will need him, along with pretty much everyone else on the team, to play at their best if they want to pull off the upset.
