Final Pre-Game Injury Reports For Minnesota Vikings And Oakland Raiders
We've still got about three hours before kickoff, ladies and gentlemen, so let's take a look at the final injury reports for both teams leading up to this one.
Since we usually do the visiting teams first, here's a look at the injury report for the Oakland Raiders.
For some reason, a couple of major names aren't listed on this version of the injury report, those names being running back Darren McFadden and wide receiver Jacoby Ford. Neither of them have practiced this week and, barring something unexpected, neither of them are going to play this afternoon. Seymour was a late addition to the injury report, but he didn't practice on Thursday or Friday with his knee issue. Not having Seymour in the lineup would be a huge blow for the Raiders, as he's probably their best defensive lineman and, without him, their 25th-ranked run defense gets a little bit worse. Since we have that Adrian Peterson fellow, you would think that would be an advantage for the Vikings. Safety Michael Huff also had a bit of a setback, according to our friends at Silver and Black Pride, and his availability for this afternoon is in doubt as well.

Since the Vikings didn't bring in any long snappers, one has to assume that Cullen Loeffler is good to go.
As far as guys that are definitely out for the Vikings, we know that Chris Cook isn't going to be out there, and all indicators are that we're going to be without Husain Abdullah this afternoon as well, as he suffered a second concussion on Monday night. Anthony Herrera is also definitely out of this one as well, with Joe Berger continuing to start in his place. Outside of that, I don't think anyone listed on the report there is going to miss this one, unless Shiancoe's hamstring is worse than anyone has said thus far.
Game thread will be up in about an hour and a half, folks. . .at that time, we'll have the official list of inactives so we'll know who's in and who's out.

Is Sherels going to be playing?
I think I saw his name on the maybe list this morning on the NFL network and it said (non-injury related.) I just barely caught it so…?

DBs have fallen like flys on both teams. Our roster changes on a weely basis. However, we do have this going for us:
Our defense is straightforward and simple to learn.So the new replacements (Chris Johnson, DvD, C.Chekwa, M.Mitchell, H.Eugene) can just man up or play tampa 2 … Sheppard, McCann, Boyd. I’m grateful we still have two seasoned Raider DBs healthy: Branch and Routt.

DvD will start at RCB (decent in pass coverage but not a consistent tackler)
