Final Injury Report for the Vikings against. Raiders: Ed Ingram, Justin Jefferson
After missing seven games, Jefferson will formally make his comeback now that he is not listed as injured.
Following his absence from the past seven Vikings games, Justin Jefferson is cleared to return to action on Sunday.
The NFL offensive player of the year, Jefferson, has not played since sustaining a hamstring injury in Week 5 against the Chiefs. The Vikings won their first five games without him, but are currently on a two-game losing streak after turning the ball over seven times and losing by a total of three points against the Broncos and Bears.
The Vikings’ offense and quarterback Josh Dobbs could benefit greatly from Jefferson’s return against the Raiders in what is virtually a must-win game for Minnesota’s postseason prospects.
Jefferson Justin I’m excited to play with Josh Dobbs again on Sunday.
Theo Jackson, a safety, and Ed Ingram, a right guard, are the two Vikings players who are officially labeled as doubtful.
Due to a hip problem, Ingram was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday. Blake Brandel is the next in line if he is unable to play. Ever since the season began last year, Ingram has not missed a single snap.
The No. 4 safety for the Vikings, Jackson, is struggling with a medical condition. He participates in special teams play and takes a few defensive snaps. Lewis Cine may get his first defensive snaps since his leg injury from last year if he is out.
For the Raiders, LT Kolton Miller is out with a shoulder injury, which is a big loss. Star DE Maxx Crosby (knee) is questionable but expected to play.
