The Arizona Cardinals will be in Minneapolis to take on the Vikings in Week 8. The game will be a part of the early set on Sunday morning. The two teams released their final injury report of the week following practice on Friday. It's clearly the Minnesota Vikings that are in better shape for the Week 8 showdown.
Arizona Cardinals injury report for Week 8
The Arizona Cardinals listed 15 names on their half of the injury report. Not all of the listed players have serious injuries. For instance, JJ Watt is on the list but only because he was given a rest day back on Wednesday.
However, running back James Conner started the week as a limited participant in practice. He was downgraded to a non-participant on Friday and he will be out in Week 8.
Backup running back Darrel Williams is also on the injury report. He was limited all week and he is questionable as of early Saturday. That leaves running back Eno Benjamin as an important player for the Cardinals in Week 8.
Matt Prater, the placekicker for the Cardinals, is also questionable. He has a hip problem and was limited all week in practice. Rodrigo Blankenship would be the PK2 if needed. Overall, there are quite a few starters that are either "out" or "questionable" for the Cardinals.
Minnesota Vikings injury report for Week 8
The Vikings only actually list two guys on their half of the injury report. When you pick things over, neither of the listed players actually appears injured.
Jalen Nailor is listed due to a hamstring problem, however, he has been a full participant in practice this week. Jonathan Bullard is on the report due to an illness, not an injury. The defensive end is questionable as of Saturday morning.
Minnesota had a bye week last week. It's not surprising that their sheet is pretty clean on the injury report.
