Kevin O’Connell provides injury updates on key players after Week 17

Kevin O’Connell gave injury updates on two key players who left Sunday’s game.

The Minnesota Vikings have had relatively good health throughout the 2024 season. Outside of Christian Darrisaw being lost for the season with an ACL injury, most of the roster was healthy heading into Week 17’s game against the Green Bay Packers.

However, the Vikings did have two notable players leave Sunday’s game due to injury. EDGE rusher Pat Jones II left the game after a low block from Packers tight end Tucker Kraft.

“It’s a right knee injury,” Kevin O’Connell said after the game. “Hopefully, we avoided a super long-term injury, but I won’t know more than that until he gets [thoroughly] evaluated. [I expect him] to miss a little bit of time.”

But the team got good news on Monday. According to Sports Illustrated‘s Will Ragatz, O’Connell believes Jones will “have a chance to even possibly make it this week.”

According to O’Connell, Aaron Jones was held out for most of the second half with a quad contusion.

On Monday, O’Connell said that Jones is “doing well,” according to ESPN’s Kevin Seifert. O’Connell added that the injury “should not keep him from participating this week.”

This is good news, as the Vikings face a Lions team that has had more than its fair share of injuries.

Analysis: As Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson indicated would happen throughout the week, Jacksonville ruled left tackle Walker Little, linebacker Ventrell Miller and safety Darnell Savage Jr. out against Tennessee after suffering injuries against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 17.

Linebacker Yasir Abdullah is questionable after joining the injury report with an illness on Friday.

Final Vikings injury report ahead of Week 17 matchup against the Packers

The Minnesota Vikings released their final injury report ahead of Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers.

The Minnesota Vikings will get some reinforcements back this week when they face the Green Bay Packers. They played the Seattle Seahawks last week without Harrison Smith (foot) and defensive tackle Jalen Redmond (concussion), who had recently gained more playing time.

Neither player appeared on the team’s final injury report. After not practicing on Wednesday, Smith was a full participant on Thursday and Friday. Redmond was a full participant on Thursday and Friday as well after being limited on Wednesday. The team is very healthy going as the playoffs are quickly approaching.

Out: CB Fabian Moreau (hip)

Questionable: Ivan Pace Jr (hamstring)

Pace hasn’t played since Week 12 at Chicago. The Vikings would have to activate him off the practice squad by 3 p.m. tomorrow for him to play Sunday. He was a full participant all week during practice, though.

Stephon Gilmore (non-injury related, rest) was the only Viking who wasn’t a full participant in practice on Friday and will be good to go on Sunday.

Guard Jordan Meredith, who did not practice all week, is doubtful.

Will Stephon Gilmore play this week? Injury updates for Vikings CB

TEAMA POSITION PLAYER NAME (ex Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa) is dealing with a [BLANK] injury. Here are the latest updates.

Veteran cornerback and former Defensive Player of the Year, Stephon Gilmore, has been out for the last two weeks dealing with a hamstring injury. He was limited in practice all week heading into the team’s Week 16 matchup with the Seahawks on Sunday.

On Friday, on the team’s final injury report, we got some clarification on his status heading into the game.

Stephone Gilmore injury update

Stephone Gilmore was a full participant in practice on Friday, and he will be playing against the Seahawks. Their receiving corp, led by D.K. Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, is going to pose a threat to the Vikings’ secondary.

Having all hands on deck with Gilmore returning could make a bigger impact than people may realize. Look for Gilmore and Byron Murphy Jr. to be used in tandem to cover the duo that Seahawks boast.
