Well, folks, it's Friday, and that means it's time for a check of the injury reports for both of the teams involved in this Sunday's clash at the Metrodome. Oh, and there's one name on the injury reports that Vikings fans probably aren't going to like too terribly much.
We'll start with the visiting Carolina Panthers.
| Player | Position | Injury | Friday Practice | Game Status |
| Matt Moore |
QB | Fibula | DNP | Out |
| Travelle Wharton | G | Knee | DNP | Out |
| Ryne Robinson |
WR | Knee | Limited | Doubtful |
| Chris Harris |
S | Thigh | DNP | Questionable |
| Tyler Brayton |
DE | Ankle | Limited | Questionable |
| Na'il Diggs |
LB | Shoulder | Limited | Questionable |
| Chris Gamble |
CB | Shoulder | Limited | Questionable |
| Ma'ake Kemoeatu |
DT | Illness | Limited | Questionable |
| Richard Marshall |
CB | Thigh | Limited | Questionable |
That's a LOT of folks to have listed as "Questionable." I'm trying to find a little more information on which of those guys are going to play and which are going to sit out, and as soon as I can find something I'll pass it along to everybody.
Now, on to the Beloved Purple. The injury list is significantly longer than it has been over the past few weeks, and that's never a good sign when you're preparing to play a team as physical as the Panthers.

Hey. . .any names stand out to anybody there? (Besides that last one, which I may or may not have made up.)
Yes, folks, Adrian Peterson is going to be a game-time decision with a hamstring injury that he got in last week's loss to Indianapolis. If I were a betting man, I would guess that he was going to play and that they're just being cautious with him, but at this point I know just as much as you do.
More on this game over the course of this evening and into tomorrow. Until then, enjoy the rest of your Friday, and we'll see you back here again soon!
