Official Vikings/Lions Injury Reports
Good evening/morning, campers! Glad to see that things have been relatively normal here, with the exception of some of the more creative FanPosts (all of which have been deleted). I would have gotten to these injury reports a bit sooner, but I spent my evening last night in New Orleans at a retirement party for a very good friend of mine that is moving on to the civilian world after putting in his 20 years. Let me tell you. . .Disney World might advertise themselves as the happiest place on Earth, but they've got nothing on Bourbon Street.
And I'll just leave it at that. This is, after all, a family show.
So, let's move on to the injury reports. As is customary here, we'll look at the visiting team first, so his Minnesota's injury report for tomorrow's game.
Henderson is going to be out, we know that already. The big question here is Heath Farwell's status. According to Access Vikings, Henderson was the only member of the team that didn't practice on Friday, so since Farwell practiced, I'm guessing that he'll be a go for tomorrow's game, barring anything surprising. So, the Vikings should basically have their entire complement of players going into Ford Field tomorrow.
And here's the injury report for the Lions:
Grady Jackson is probable despite not having practiced on Friday, and his matchup against Vikings' center John Sullivan will be one of the more interesting ones to watch tomorrow. Sullivan had his difficulties with Shaun Rogers last week in Cleveland, and while Jackson is no longer in the class of guys like Rogers, he's still a big run-stuffing body in the middle of the Detroit defense.
Cliff Avril will likely be inactive for the Lions tomorrow, and I haven't seen anything indicating that anyone else on the Lions' injury report is a definite deactivation for tomorrow.
So there are the bumps and bruises for both teams going into the Week 2 matchup at Ford Field. Not a lot of hugely game-changing injuries for either side. We're about 12 hours away, folks, so make sure you're here for the Game Thread and all the fun that's involved with that. We'll see you here then!

Prediction:
Vikings 38 Lions 21
Peterson: 196 yds rushing, 1 TD.
Favre: 183 yds passing, 2 picks, 2 TDs.
Harvin: 102 all purpose yards, 1 TD rushing.
Defense scores the 5th TD.
Bears lose 27-24, as whatsismame leads the Steelers to a late TD on a drive that creams the clock.

I don’t think that the Vikes will let Detroit’s shitty offense score 21.
"He didn’t call me or anything. It was an accident, but a lot of people would have called to see how someone is doing after they got hit in the head. Especially if they had to go on the DL." — Morneau on pitcher Ron Villone after an April 2005 beaning.

I'm down with that prediction
Gonzo. No way the Vikes don’t remember what almost happened last year and they’re facing a rookie qb not Culpepper.

Harvin had 99 yards last game in kick returns alone. Here’s my guess:
32 on the ground
54 in the air
90 in kicks

Yeah, I’m thinking 220 for AD. I’m into round numbers and wouldn’t mind seeing 400 on the season after two games!

39-9

I heard Cutler might be a game time decision
based on a bad case of colic.

Farwell and Erin Henderson are good special teams guys
After last week, they need to improve the punt return aspect, and if those two are out, it will be interesting to see how special teams perform.
Brett Favre is a Viking, and John Smoltz is a Cardinal. The Cubs and Packers still suck. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
