The Detroit Lions Week 9 opponent, the Minnesota Vikings, have released their injury designations ahead of Sunday’s game and they will be without three corners — including both starters — with a fourth being listed as questionable.
Here’s a look at the Vikings’ full injury designations list.
Ruled OUT/Questionable
| Player | Position | Injury | Designation |
| Cameron Dantzler | CB (starter) | Concussion | OUT |
| Holton Hill | CB (starter) | Foot | OUT |
| Mark Fields | CB | Chest | OUT |
| Harrison Hand | CB | Hamstring | Questionable |
Dantzler is still recovering from a nasty concussion suffered in last week’s game, while Hill has been out almost a month with his foot issue. Fields, who is a reserve, suffered a puncture in his chest which will keep him out of this game. Mike Hughes, who was expected to be a starter this year, is on injured reserve.
The Vikings have just four healthy corners currently on their roster, with three of them being rookies and the fourth a former Lion.
First-round pick Jeff Gladney is expected to start, while fifth-round pick Harrison Hand — who is questionable — and seventh-round pick Kris Boyd will compete for the other starting job.
Former Lion Chris Jones — whom the Vikings claimed a few weeks ago — is expected to be the fourth option and will likely make his Vikings debut on Sunday.
No injury designation
| Player | Position | Injury | Designation |
| C.J. Ham | FB | Shoulder | No designation |
| Adam Thielen | WR (starter) | Shoulder | No designation |
| Dan Chisena | WR | Hip | No designation |
All three offensive skill players were listed on the injury report this week but will be available on Sunday as they will not carry an injury designation into the game.
