The Minnesota Vikings had practice Wednesday and they released their first injury report of the week. It had quite a few names on it, as multiple Vikings missed practice with an illness.
Ahead of the matchup against the Detroit Lions, the Vikings had five players not practice due to an illness, including Danielle Hunter, Patrick Peterson, Harrison Smith, C.J. Ham and Theo Jackson. All were active last week against the New York Jets.
Defensive end Ross Blacklock was a late add to the injury report this past Friday and was inactive in the Week 13 game. He is not listed on the most recent injury report.
Garrett Bradbury was banged up during the game against the Jets and continues to be limited in practice with what's identified as a back injury.
Jonathan Bullard did not practice. He left the game against the Jets with a bicep injury, one that he has dealt with before.
Christian Darrisaw continues to progress through the concussion protocol. He was limited in practice and has a chance to play on Sunday.
