Vikings receive good news on final injury report before Week 11

The Minnesota Vikings have battled injuries every week of the season on both sides of the ball. The team has gotten some players back and then lost some other important ones as a sort of trade on injury reports.

On Friday, ahead of Week 11, the Vikings received their healthiest damage report of the season.

The Vikings have just one player on the injury report: rookie edge rusher Gabriel Murphy, who is recovering from a knee injury suffered last offseason. He’s still within his 21-day open practice window, so he wasn’t expected to be cleared that quickly.

The best part of the injury report was the removal of Sam Darnold (shoulder), Andrew Van Ginkel (hip), Blake Cashman (elbow) and Aaron Jones (ribs). All of these key starters had long-term injuries, and their removal on the final report is a big win before Week 11 against the Titans.

They will now have a roster that is 7-2 and at full strength against a Titans roster that is 2-7.
