Vikings release Week 10 inactives, Jalen Nailor makes season debut

Jalen Nailor is set to make his 2023 season debut against the Saints

The Minnesota Vikings released their inactives for Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints.

  • S Lewis Cine
  • QB Jaren Hall
  • WR K.J. Osborn
  • ILB Brian Asamoah II
  • TE Nick Muse
  • OL Hakeem Adeniji
  • DE Dean Lowry

No major surprises on the inactive list. Hall was already ruled out and Lowry was doubtful. Osborn was ruled out earlier Sunday morning and won’t attend the game either. The Vikings are playing it smart with Osborn.

Asamoah was questionable but was likely to be out once the Vikings added Nick Vigil to the active roster on Saturday morning.

The big one here is Cine, who is inactive for the sixth time this season. Two of those games were due to the hamstring injury he suffered and he has yet to play a single defensive snap this season. Why is he not playing even special teams? Well, it’s likely that Jay Ward is just better at special teams.

The good part about the inactive list is that Jalen Nailor isn’t included. He will make his season debut after sitting out for the better part of four months with a hamstring injury.

The game kicks off at noon central.

Analyzing final Vikings injury report vs. Saints

The Vikings are getting healthier heading into the stretch run

The Minnesota Vikings are set to take on the New Orleans Saints on Sunday afternoon with Josh Dobbs getting his first start for the franchise.

Throughout the week, the injury report saw multiple names on it with significant starters in limbo for Sunday’s game.

The final injury report is out and the Vikings injury report is extensive.

Vikings first Week 10 injury report is full of starters

The first injury report for the Minnesota Vikings is full of starters, but most of them did practice on Wednesday

The Minnesota Vikings had their first injury report of the season drop and it is filled with Minnesota Vikings starters. They did not practice and held a walkthrough instead, so this is an estimation.

  • QB Jaren Hall (concussion): Did not practice
  • WR K.J. Osborn (concussion): Did not practice
  • DE Dean Lowry (groin): Did not practice
  • ILB Brian Asamoah (ankle): Limited
  • LT Christian Darrisaw (groin): Limited
  • TE T.J. Hockenson (ribs): Limited
  • WR Justin Jefferson (hamstring): Limited
  • TE Johnny Mundt (knee): Limited
  • WR Jalen Nailor (hamstring): Full
  • G/C Chris Reed (foot): Full

Both Hall and Osborn are not likely to play on Sunday, as only one player has played the week after being placed in the concussion protocol (Brock Purdy).

Lowry didn’t practice at all last week and missed Sunday’s game. This isn’t a good sign for Lowry.

Darrisaw suffered his injury during practice last week with Hockenson and Mundt suffering their injuries during Sunday’s game. Limited practice off the bat is a good sign.

Jefferson being on the field in any capacity is a great thing, as the Vikings activated his practice window on Wednesday afternoon.

Nailor and Reed are likely to be returning to the field sooner rather than later, as they both continue to practice in full.

The next two days will tell us more about where the Vikings are at.

Vikings release inactives for Week 9 vs. Falcons

Christian Darrisaw highlights the Vikings inactive list

The Minnesota Vikings have released their inactive list for their week nine matchup with the Atlanta Falcons.

  • LT Christian Darrisaw
  • ILB Brian Asamoah II
  • TE Nick Muse
  • RB Kene Nwangwu
  • S Lewis Cine
  • WR Jalen Nailor
  • DE Dean Lowry

The Vikings will be without Darrisaw for the second week this season. He dressed but didn’t play against the Philadelphia Eagles. Darrisaw injured his groin during practice this week.

Asamoah misses his second consecutive game with an ankle injury.

Muse continues to be inactive, as he hasn’t been active all season.

Nwangwu and Nailor are still out with their respective injuries.

Cine being inactive is a very frustrating one because of his draft capital.

The game kicks off at noon.

Vikings make 7 roster moves, distinctions

The Vikings roster saw some changes on Saturday

Heading into Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons, the Minnesota Vikings have made multiple roster moves and changed distinctions that could make a real impact.

Saturday afternoons are a day where these are common, as you have to elevate players from the practice squad by 3 p.m. C[anyclip-media thumbnail=”undefined” playlistId=”undefined” content=”dW5kZWZpbmVk”][/anyclip-media]entral time in order for them to play on Sunday.

Here are the seven roster moves and distinctions made by the Vikings on Saturday.

Analyzing final Vikings injury report vs. Falcons

The final injury report for the Minnesota Vikings matchup with the Atlanta Falcons has been released with multiple players out

The Minnesota Vikings are set to take on the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday afternoon with quarterback Jaren Hall getting his first start in the NFL.

The injury report for both teams is out and is much cleaner for the Vikings than it is their counterparts.

LOOK: Former Michigan State football WRs get pic together

LOOK: Former Michigan State football WRs Jalen Nailor and Jayden Reed get picture together after their game on Sunday.

2021 was a good year for Michigan State football fans, and while a lot of credit can be given to Kenneth Walker, there were two guys who played a huge role in that as well.

Jalen Nailor and Jayden Reed were two huge factors in leading Michigan State in 2021, and now the two are in the NFL, living out professional football dreams.

Nailor, with the Minnesota Vikings, and Reed with the Green Bay Packers, met at midfield after their game on Sunday and took a picture together.

Analyzing final Vikings injury report vs. Packers

We analyzed the final Vikings injury report ahead of Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers

The Minnesota Vikings will be looking to improve to 2-0 in the NFC North along with getting back to 0.500 when they take on the Green Bay Packers. They were desperate for a win against the San Francisco 49ers and they got one by a score of 22-17.

As things currently sit, the Vikings are currently tied for a wild card spot but would lose out on the tiebreaker to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to a head-to-head loss.

Injuries have hit the Vikings both hard and not hard at all this year. They do have Justin Jefferson and Marcus Davenport on injured reserve, but they are mostly healthy outside of them. The final injury report is out for Sunday’s game and there were multiple changes.

Analysis of Vikings Thursday injury report

The Vikings saw some improvement on their injury report on Thursday afternoon

The Minnesota Vikings are set to take on the Green Bay Packers on Sunday afternoon and had their first official day of practice this week on Thursday. Wednesday’s injury report was only estimated as they took the day off on the field to recoup from Monday night’s game.

There was some improvement from the Vikings on Thursday.

  • ILB Brian Asamoah II (ankle)-Did not practice
  • TE T.J. Hockenson (foot)-Limited
  • LG Ezra Cleveland (foot)-Limited
  • WR Jalen Nailor (hamstring)-Limited

The only player that saw improvement was Hockenson, as he was estimated as a did not practice player on Wednesday.

Cleveland staying as limited is a good sign in his healing process. Now, the Vikings don’t have to rush him back. Dalton Risner started for Cleveland on Monday against the San Francisco 49ers and played well in his place. Having depth on the offensive line is new for the Vikings and it’s paying dividends already.

Friday’s injury report will tell us who will be in and out of Sunday’s game.

Vikings initial week 8 injury report is estimated

The first Minnesota Vikings injury report for week 8 against the Green Bay Packers is estimated, as they didn’t practice

The Minnesota Vikings released their first injury report ahead of their week eight game against the Green Bay Packers and it’s an estimated report. What that means is the Vikings didn’t practice, so they give an estimation on what each player on the report would have done.

  • ILB Brian Asamoah II (ankle)-Did not practice
  • TE T.J. Hockenson (foot)-Did not practice
  • LG Ezra Cleveland (foot)-Limited
  • WR Jalen Nailor (hamstring)-Limited

Asamoah injured his ankle during Monday night’s game, as did Hockenson. While Asamoah didn’t return to the game, Hockenson did and played most of the game.

Cleveland being limited is an improvement, as he didn’t practice at all last week after being injured against the Carolina Panthers. Dalton Risner started in his place and played well in his absence.

Nailor had his practice window activated last Wednesday and has 14 days before he needs to be activated from injured reserve.

There will be two more injury reports over the next two days and they will tell us a lot about who will play and who won’t.
