Injury Report Terms and Glossary
- FP = Full participant in practice.
- LP = Limited participant in practice.
- DNP = Did not participate in practice.
- NIR = Not injury related.
- PUP = Physically unable to participate list.
- IR = Injured reserve. Note: only starters on IR are listed.
- Player Name* = Starter.
Injury designation definitions:
Probable = the league defines a Probable injury designation as a 75% or greater chance of playing. Historically, 95% of players designated probable are active and played on game day.
Questionable = the league defines a Questionable injury designation as being ‘uncertain’ of whether the player
will play or not. This replaces the former definition of having a 50% chance of playing. Historically, 70-75% of players with a Questionable injury designation were active and played on game day.
Doubtful = The league defines a Doubtful injury designation to mean the player is unlikely to participate in the game. In practical terms, teams use the designation when a player has less than a 50% chance to suit up, and active game appearances from this designation remain rare. Historically only around 6% of players with a Doubtful designation are active and played on game day.
Out = will not play. Players with this designation are not active on game day and league rules prohibit them from playing.
Notes on Injured Players
For the Vikings, kind of the worst-case scenario based on the injury list earlier this week, with only Kyle Van Noy being upgraded today among previous DNP players- the rest of which are out on Sunday, including Blake Cashman, T.J. Hockenson, Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, Jauan Jennings, and Kyler Murray. Moreover, Jordan Addison and Josh Metellus were added to the injury report as both were limited on Friday and carry questionable injury designations. Hopefully both will be able to go on Sunday, however. Not having Hockenson will make it a bit tougher for the debut of Kirk Cousins on Sunday while not having Blake Cashman means Eric Wilson may have the green dot on defense on Sunday with a greater role for Ivan Pace Jr. and probably Jake Golday as well.
For the Packers, starters Josh Jacobs, Sean Rhyan, and Micah Parsons are out, as expected. Starting linebacker Zaire Franklin is doubtful, meaning he probably won’t play on Sunday. A few other starters are questionable for the Packers on Sunday, including right guard Kevin Zeitler, defensive end Lukas Van Ness, and safeties Javon Bullard and Xavier McKinney- who was added to the injury list on Friday with a foot injury. Lastly, running back Chris Brooks is also questionable, and with Josh Jacobs out on Sunday may be expected to have more of a role if he’s able to go. But while I expect most of the questionable players to play on Sunday for the Packers, most of them have injuries that may keep them at less than 100%.
Overall, both teams are a bit banged up and will be missing some key starters on Sunday.
