Lions at Vikings: Who's Hurt and Who's Out?
It's that time again, folks - game day! The Detroit Lions are headed to Minnesota to face the Vikings, and you know what that means: injury report drama! Trying to predict who's going to be on the field, let alone who's gonna win, is like trying to catch a greased pig - it's a wild ride!
Lions' Injury Report: A Whole Lotta Drama
The Lions have been battling the injury bug like a toddler battling a cold. A few key guys are questionable, but we're crossing our fingers.
Here's the lowdown on the Lions' injury report:
- D'Andre Swift (ankle) - Questionable: D'Andre is a key playmaker for the Lions, so his status is HUGE. If he's out, the Lions will be relying heavily on Jamaal Williams to carry the load.
- Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) - Questionable: Amon-Ra's been on fire this season, so his availability is crucial.
- Frank Ragnow (foot) - Questionable: Ragnow is the anchor of the offensive line, so his absence would be a major blow to the Lions.
Vikings Injury Report: Not Too Shaky
The Vikings, on the other hand, seem to be in better shape injury-wise.
- Dalvin Cook (shoulder) - Questionable: Cook is a powerful runner for the Vikings, so his status is worth watching. If he's out, expect Alexander Mattison to step up.
- Adam Thielen (ankle) - Questionable: Thielen's experience and route running are valuable to the Vikings.
