Sorry we're a bit later than usual in getting these out. The Saints' official report took quite a while to get out for some reason.
The final injury reports are out for this Sunday's game between the Minnesota Vikings and the New Orleans Saints. Let's take a look at the report for both teams, starting with the visitors as we always do.
Minnesota Vikings
| Player | Position | Injury | Sunday Status |
| Chad Greenway | LB | Hand/Rib | Questionable |
| Rodney Smith | WR | Hamstring | Questionable |
| Brandon Watts | LB | Knee | Questionable |
| Sharrif Floyd | DT | Shoulder | Probable |
| Phil Loadholt | OT | Ankle | Probable |
| Michael Mauti | LB | Foot | Probable |
| Cordarrelle Patterson | WR | Chest | Probable |
| Xavier Rhodes | CB | Groin | Probable |
| Kyle Rudolph | TE | Abdomen | Probable |
Greenway will be evaluated throughout the weekend, and will be a game-time decision on Sunday. He's the only one of the starters that is in doubt for Sunday's game. Mauti, a New Orleans native, has been told that he will be active and on all four special teams units.
And now, on to the home team.
New Orleans Saints
| Player | Position | Injury | Sunday Status |
| Marcus Ball | S | Hamstring | Out |
| David Hawthorne | LB | Ankle | Out |
| Mark Ingram | RB | Hand | Out |
| Erik Lorig | FB | Ankle | Out |
| Jonathan Goodwin | C | Elbow | Probable |
| Kyle Knox | LB | Ankle | Probable |
| Curtis Lofton | LB | Shoulder | Probable |
Ingram's injury is likely going to mean more work for Pierre Thomas, which is probably better for the Saints anyway. Not a whole lot of middle ground on the New Orleans injury report. . .either you're not playing, or you're probable.
And those are your final injury reports for the Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints leading up to Sunday afternoon's game. Be sure to keep checking this site for any more news prior to game time.
