Both the Minnesota Vikings and the Dallas Cowboys continue their preparations for Sunday afternoon’s game at U.S. Bank Stadium, and both teams have released their second injury reports of the week. There haven’t been a lot of changes, but we’ll run down the reports for both teams here, starting with Dallas.
Did Not Participate
- OL Tyler Biadasz (hamstring)
- DE Randy Gregory (illness)
- DE DeMarcus Lawrence (illness, new addition to injury report)
Limited Participation
No players listed
Full Participation
- QB Andy Dalton (concussion)
- RB Ezekiel Elliott (hamstring)
- G Zack Martin (calf, upgrade from limited on Wednesday)
- LB Joe Thomas (wrist)
Lawrence being added to the report is significant, as he’s probably the best player on the Dallas defense. No word on what the nature of his illness is or anything like that yet. Dalton still appears to be on track to take over at quarterback for the Cowboys again on Sunday.
Now, on to the Vikings. Their list does not include fullback C.J. Ham, who was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday.
Did Not Participate
- OL Ezra Cleveland (ankle)
Limited Participation
- CB Cameron Dantzler (concussion)
- DL Hercules Mata’afa (ankle)
- TE Irv Smith Jr. (groin)
Full Participation
- C Garrett Bradbury (shoulder, upgrade from limited on Wednesday)
- DE Ifeadi Odenigbo (shoulder)
Cleveland continues to sit out with his ankle issue. The word from Vikings reporters on social media is that Brett Jones and Oli Udoh have been taking the snaps at right guard in Cleveland’s absence, which is definitely something to keep an eye on.
We’ll have the final injury reports tomorrow just as soon as they drop, ladies and gentlemen.
