Alrighty, then, it's that time of the week again, so it's time to check out the players that are nursing the injuries that could potentially have an impact on this Sunday's game. We'll start out with the Beloved Purple, since they're the road team in this weekend's clash.

Injuries: Minnesota Vikings

Probable

Player	Injury Type	Injury Date
Bobby Wade	thigh	11.20.2008

Questionable

Player	Injury Type	Injury Date
Madieu Williams	shoulder	11.19.2008
Jared Allen	shoulder	11.19.2008
Vinny Ciurciu	hand	11.19.2008
Benny Sapp	concussion	11.19.2008
Garrett Mills	ankle	11.19.2008

Out (IR / Out / Suspended / Physically unvailable)

Player	Injury Type	Injury Date
E.J. Henderson	foot/toes	10.6.2008
Heath Farwell	knee	8.11.2008
Kenderick Allen	wrist	8.19.2008
Drew Radovich	shoulder	10.13.2008
Jayme Mitchell	knee	8.11.2008
Michael Boulware	wrist	8.30.2008
Charles Gordon	ankle	11.13.2008

Mills is actually showing up as doubtful on NFL.com's report, and he didn't participate in Friday's practice, so I'd be surprised if we saw him out there on Sunday afternoon. Benny Sapp is also listed as probable at NFL.com, and had full participation in practice today. The rest of the folks that are up there are shown as questionable on NFL.com.

I don't have any concerns about Williams or Allen being out there. Williams was listed as doubtful before the Buccaneers' game and played, and Allen was questionable, so I'd be surprised if either of them were sidelined on Sunday.

Now, let's look at the Jags.

Injuries: Jacksonville Jaguars

Probable

Player	Injury Type	Injury Date
Fred Taylor	neck	11.20.2008
Matt Jones	thigh	11.19.2008
John Henderson	knee	11.19.2008

Questionable

Player	Injury Type	Injury Date
Greg Jones	ankle	11.20.2008
Omare Lowe	knee	11.19.2008
Rashean Mathis	foot	11.19.2008
Troy Williamson	groin	11.19.2008

Out (IR / Out / Suspended / Physically unvailable)

Player	Injury Type	Injury Date
Chris Naeole	hand	10.30.2008
Maurice Williams	biceps	9.10.2008
Scott Starks	knee	9.24.2008
Anthony Cotrone	knee	8.4.2008
Theo Horrocks	foot	8.6.2008
James Wyche	Achilles	8.9.2008
Vince Manuwai	knee	9.9.2008
Jonathan Lewis	knee	8.30.2008

NFL.com shows Lowe and Williamson as "out" rather than questionable. That's right. . .Troy Williamson ran his mouth about Brad Childress while (likely) knowing all along that he wasn't even going to play on Sunday. Well done, Troy. Show us a little more of your class. NFL.com shows the other players on the Jags' list as probable, so we'll have to wait until Sunday to see who's on the field and who isn't.

A Tragic Injury

The absence of Williamson is a devasting blow for all those many Vikings fans who had expected to witness that promised steel cage event with Chilly before the coin toss. It also is a likely disappointment for Sharper, who possibly anticipated a big rush in business, with at least a pair of picks this Sunday, as assorted balls ricocheted from untold portions of Troy in every direction. There’s still hope that Troy is feigning a limp just to surprise us with a stellar accounting of himself. Maybe Nike will even install experimental ball-detecting radar inside his helmet and fit him with a gecko glove that will permit him to run with the football stuck to the back of one hand. Naw, way too much to wish for, but Viking fans are experienced in dealing with dashed hopes, and Jacksonville fans should be prepared for that as well.
