Six Vikings players were estimated as DNPs during Wednesday's walkthrough ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers. Four others were listed as limited. And that doesn't include T.J. Hockenson and D.J. Wonnum, who were placed on injured reserve.
The DNPs were Jordan Addison (ankle), Mekhi Blackmon (shoulder/illness), Theo Jackson (toe), Byron Murphy Jr. (knee), Jalen Nailor (concussion), and Jaquelin Roy (ankle). The limited players: Sheldon Day (ankle), Troy Dye (wrist), Alexander Mattison (ankle), and Harrison Phillips (back).
The good news for the Vikings is that right tackle Brian O'Neill (ankle) was estimated as a full participant, meaning he's on track to return on Sunday night after missing the last two games. David Quessenberry filled in at RT in his absence.
Addison and Blackmon picked up injuries during this past weekend's game against the Lions, as did Hockenson and Wonnum. If Addison can't go, the Vikings could be relying on players like Trishton Jackson and Lucky Jackson beyond a top three of Justin Jefferson, K.J. Osborn, and Brandon Powell. Nailor has now been in concussion protocol for a few weeks.
With the status of Blackmon and Murphy up in the air, the Vikings' top corners could be Akayleb Evans and Andrew Booth Jr., with Jaylin Williams and Joejuan Williams also potentially being called upon. The Vikings are also pretty banged up at defensive tackle.
The Packers aren't exactly healthy either (and suspended CB Jaire Alexander for one game today). Here's the full report from Wednesday:
