Final Vikings-Packers injury Report: Hockenson, Cleveland, Nwangwu
USA TODAY Sports

Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson (foot) is off the injury report and good to go for Sunday's game against the Packers at Lambeau Field. That's big news for Minnesota's offense, as Hockenson is coming off an 11-catch outing in Monday's win over the 49ers. He got banged up a couple different times during that game but was able to practice on Thursday and Friday this week.

Three players are questionable for the Vikings this week: LG Ezra Cleveland, RB/KR Kene Nwangwu, and WR Jalen Nailor. 

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.
