Vikings center Garrett Bradbury and outside linebacker Marcus Davenport have been listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers, head coach Kevin O'Connell said.
Second-year safety Lewis Cine, who has only played on special teams this season, is out with a hamstring injury. Rookie QB Jaren Hall is questionable with a non-injury related personal matter, but O'Connell expects him to make the trip to Charlotte and serve as their emergency third quarterback as usual. Josh Metellus and Byron Murphy Jr. are off the injury report entirely.
For the Panthers, starting QB Bryce Young is off the injury report and will play after missing last weekend's game with an ankle injury. That feels like good news for the Vikings. Safety Xavier Woods is out, while three players — LB Frankie Luvu, RB Miles Sanders, and WR Jonathan Mingo — are questionable. Chuba Hubbard would serve as the Panthers' lead running back if Sanders can't go.
Bradbury practiced all week and will likely make his return from the back injury that has kept him out since early in the season opener, but the Vikings will make sure he feels good on Sunday morning before making that decision.
Davenport, who has played four snaps in three games due to an ankle injury, is probably closer to a true game-time decision.
