The Minnesota Vikings and Tennessee Titans issued their final injury reports in advance of their matchup on Sunday in Nashville, complete with injury designations. Here they are:
Minnesota Vikings
- Gabe Murphy, Knee, Full Participant, OUT
That’s the only injury designation for the Vikings.
Everyone else on the list from Wednesday and Thursday were full participants in Friday’s practice except Stephon Gilmore and Harrison Smith, who had their routine Friday days off.
Gabe Murphy is probably good to go as well, but the Vikings may not be ready to make a corresponding roster move yet to activate him from IR. He still has another week in his practice window before they need to do so or he’ll revert back to IR for the season.
Tennessee Titans
- CB L’Jarius Sneed, Quad, OUT
- RT Leroy Watson, Back, OUT
No big surprise that both Sneed and Watson are out for the Titans as neither had practiced this week. No other players will be out for the Titans according to head coach Brian Callahan. Watson’s replacement will be Nicholas Petite-Frere, while Sneed’s replacement will continue to be Darrell Baker Jr., who’s graded well in Sneed’s absence. Petite-Frere, on the other hand, has struggled in pass protection, earning just a 34.9 grade in that skill from PFF. Watson had been the lowest overall graded tackle by PFF, so Petite-Frere may not be much of a downgrade.
Overall, good that the Vikings are at full strength for this matchup outside of those on IR- let’s hope that continues.
