When the Minnesota Vikings released their injury report on Thursday afternoon, it had two players added to it from their initial report on Wednesday.
On Friday afternoon, Lewis Cine was announced as questionable for Sunday’s opener against the Green Bay Packers with a knee injury.
Lewis Cine is questionable for Sunday’s game. Kevin O’Connell said Cine aggravated a previous injury.

This shouldn’t come as a surprise as Cine was seen yesterday with a wrap around his knee with ice on it. The fact that it’s the aggravation of a previous injury is a concern.
For a player as dynamic athletically as Cine, a knee injury can become a big issue, especially if it continues to linger. The ideal scenario would be for Cine to come back when the injury is completely healthy.
The Vikings do not currently list Cine as a starter and, while he would be missed, would be best served getting this injury fully healed.
