Sad news for Minnesota Vikings:three key player on injury during practice

Final Vikings-Packers injury report: Hockenson, Cleveland, Nwangwu

T.J. Hockenson, a tight end for the Vikings, is listed as healthy for Sunday’s Lambeau Field matchup against the Packers due to a foot issue. This is significant for Minnesota’s offense because Hockenson just finished with 11 catches in the team’s victory over the 49ers on Monday. Although he was hit many times during that game, he was still able to practice this week on Thursday and Friday. This week, three Vikings players are questionable: WR Jalen Nailor, RB/KR Kene Nwangwu, and LG Ezra Cleveland.

Cleveland is dealing with a foot injury that he picked up in the fourth quarter of the Bears game a couple weeks ago. He was unable to play against the 49ers, which meant Dalton Risner got his first start with the Vikings. It’s unclear who would get the start at left guard this weekend if Cleveland is medically cleared. Risner played well against San Francisco, but Cleveland was also playing well prior to getting hurt. Nailor (hamstring) is still on injured reserve and nearing the midway point of his 21-day window to be activated. There’s a chance he could be activated on Saturday and available on Sunday. Nwangwu is a Friday addition to the injury report.

The Packers have not yet released their official report, but they had Jaire Alexander (back), Luke Musgrave (ankle), and Preston Smith (illness) at practice on Friday after those three players missed Thursday’s session. Players on injured reserve between these two teams include Justin Jefferson, Marcus Davenport, David Bakhtiari, Darnell Savage, and Eric Stokes.
