UPDATE: According to Ben Goessling of ESPN, both Robinson and Sherels have been downgraded to "Out" for Sunday's game. -Chris
We're just about 48 hours away from kickoff at Everbank Field, ladies and gentlemen, and that means it's time for both of the teams involved in this Sunday's game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Jacksonville Jaguars to release their final injury lists. Let's take a look at those now, starting with the visiting team.
Minnesota Vikings
| Player | Position | Injury | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Sunday Status |
| Joe Berger | C | Concussion | LP | DNP | DNP | Out |
| Sharrif Floyd | DT | Knee | DNP | DNP | DNP | Out |
| Harrison Smith | S | Ankle | DNP | DNP | DNP | Out |
| Edmond Robinson | LB | Hamstring | LP | LP | LP |
|
| Marcus Sherels | CB/PR | Rib | LP | LP | LP |
|
| Stefon Diggs | WR | Knee | LP | FP | FP | -- |
| Everson Griffen | DE | Hip | LP | LP | FP | -- |
| Tom Johnson | DT | Toe | LP | LP | FP | -- |
| Captain Munnerlyn | CB | Ankle | FP | FP | FP | -- |
There was word going around earlier today that Berger had cleared the concussion protocol and was on track to play this Sunday, but it now appears as though that's not the case. Nick Easton will once again step in and get the start at center.
It sounds like Anthony Harris will get the start at safety in the absence of Harrison Smith.
After the adventures in punt returning we've seen the past couple of weeks, I was really hoping that this mini-break would be enough for Sherels to get back to 100%, but apparently it has not been. If he can't go, I'm not sure if we'll see Adam Thielen or Stefon Diggs in that capacity.
At this point, I'm pretty sure that Sharrif Floyd had a leg amputated back in September and he won't actually play again until it grows back on its own. (Seriously, anyone else got a better explanation?) Overall, though, this has got to be just about the healthiest the Vikings have been in a long time.
Now, on to the home team. . .and, for the first time in a long time, a team that actually has a longer injury report than the Vikings do.
Jacksonville Jaguars
| Player | Position | Injury | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Sunday Status |
| Allen Hurns | WR | Hamstring | DNP | DNP | DNP | Out |
| Jared Odrick | DE | Shoulder | DNP | DNP | DNP | Out |
| Denard Robinson | RB | Ankle | DNP | DNP | DNP | Out |
| Julius Thomas | TE | Back | DNP | DNP | DNP | Out |
| Peyton Thompson | S | Ankle | DNP | LP | DNP | Out |
| Chris Ivory | RB | Hamstring | LP | LP | LP | Questionable |
| Brandon Linder | G | Ankle | DNP | DNP | DNP | Questionable |
| Dan Skuta | LB | Elbow | LP | LP | LP | Questionable |
| Kelvin Beachum | OT | Knee | LP | LP | FP | -- |
| Blake Bortles | QB | Shoulder | FP | FP | FP | -- |
| Luke Bowanko | OT | Hip | FP | FP | FP | PUP |
| Dante Fowler | DE | Shoulder | FP | FP | FP | -- |
| Yannick Ngakoue | DE | Ankle | FP | FP | FP | -- |
| Neal Sterling | TE | Hip | FP | FP | FP | -- |
| T.J. Yeldon | RB | Ankle | FP | FP | FP |
Yes, that's 15 players on the injury report for the Jaguars, compared to just 9 for the Vikings. Hurns and Thomas are both pretty significant hits for the Jacksonville offense, and the injuries to both Ivory and Yeldon potentially leave them very thin at the running back position. Bowanko is participating in practice, and I believe the Jaguars are weighing whether or not to bring him back from the PUP list. All in all, the Jags are in pretty rough injury shape, from the looks of the things.
That's a look at the final injury reports for both the Vikings and the Jaguars leading into Sunday's game, folks. We'll have more on this contest over the next couple of days leading up to kickoff.
