EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Vikings running back Jerick McKinnon said Friday that he is “feeling good” and hopes to play Monday night in Chicago.
McKinnon, who leads the Vikings with 68 carries for 217 yards and has one touchdown, suffered an ankle injury Sunday against the Eagles. He said he’s been following orders from Director of Sports Medicine and Head Athletic Trainer Eric Sugarman.
“I’m not trying to miss games,” McKinnon said. “I’ve been doing whatever Sug’ and the training staff have had me doing to make sure my ankle is getting stronger.
