We’ve made it to Friday, and that means that both the Minnesota Vikings and the Miami Dolphins have put together their final injury reports for their Week 6 matchup at Hard Rock Stadium. Let’s take a look at those reports here.

Minnesota Vikings Week 6 Injury Report

Player Position Injury Wednesday Thursday Friday Sunday Status
Player Position Injury Wednesday Thursday Friday Sunday Status
Alexander Mattison RB Shoulder LP LP LP Questionable
D.J. Wonnum OLB Illness --- DNP DNP Questionable
Akayleb Evans CB Concussion LP FP FP ---
Jalen Nailor WR Hamstring FP FP FP ---
Za'Darius Smith OLB Knee LP FP FP ---

Mattison and Wonnum were still limited in Wednesday’s practice, though we still don’t know what the nature of Wonnum’s illness is. Hopefully it’s something that he can shake by Sunday. If Mattison is unable to go, Kene Nwangwu will serve as the primary backup to Dalvin Cook and the team might have to bring Bryant Koback up from the practice squad to serve as RB3. We’ll have to see how the team plays it when they take off for Miami tomorrow.

Jaylen Waddle WR Groin FP FP FP ---

That’s a whole lotta injury report for the Dolphins, though they only have two players listed as “doubtful” or “out” on their report. Bridgewater was a full participant in practice on Friday, but the Dolphins are still expected to go with Skylar Thompson as the starter on Sunday. However, Bridgewater might be able to serve as Thompson’s backup. Mostert has been a very solid back for the Dolphins and the Vikings have had issues stopping the run, so whether he’s active or not will be something to make note of as well.

Those are your final injury reports for the Minnesota Vikings and the Miami Dolphins for this week, folks. We’ll have plenty more on this matchup as we get closer to kickoff in Miami.
