We've finally gotten the final injury reports for the Minnesota Vikings and the Buffalo Bills leading up to their contest in upstate New York this Sunday. Let's take a look at what names are on the injury report, starting with the visitors.
Minnesota Vikings
| Player | Position | Injury | Sunday Status |
| Gerald Hodges | LB | Hamstring | Out |
| Kyle Rudolph | TE | Abdomen/Groin | Out |
| Corey Wootton | DE | Back | Out |
| Sharrif Floyd | DT | Elbow/Ankle | Questionable |
| Chad Greenway | LB | Hand/Rib | Questionable |
| Chase Ford | TE | Foot | Probable |
| Linval Joseph | DT | Ankle | Probable |
| Michael Mauti | LB | Illness | Probable |
| Cordarrelle Patterson | WR | Hip | Probable |
| Jabari Price | CB | Hamstring | Probable |
| Harrison Smith | S | Ankle | Probable |
With Hodges out, if Greenway is unable to go on Sunday, Mauti will get the start at weak-side linebacker. Wootton's absence could lead to third-round pick Scott Crichton being active for the first time in a long time. Not sure who would start at Floyd's defensive tackle spot if he were unable to go, but my guess would be Tom Johnson.
The three players listed as "Out" did not participate in Friday's practice. Floyd's participation was limited, and everyone else on the list fully participated in Friday's practice.
And now on to the home team.
Buffalo Bills
| Player | Position | Injury | Sunday Status |
| Marcus Easley | WR | Knee | Out |
| Marquise Goodwin | WR | Hamstring | Out |
| Ty Powell | LB | Ankle | Out |
| Marcell Dareus | DT | Non-Injury | Probable |
| Garrison Sanborn | LS | Knee | Probable |
| Da'Norris Searcy | S | Knee | Probable |
| Brandon Spikes | LB | Ribs | Probable |
| Aaron Williams | S | Wrist/Neck | Probable |
| Kyle Williams | DT | Knee | Probable |
Sanborn. . .and this might be the first time I've seen a long snapper listed on the injury report. . .participated fully in practice on Friday. Everyone else on the injury report that isn't listed as "Out" was a limited participant on Friday.
