Very few people expected the Minnesota Vikings to be playing in the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs. Their surprising upset of the New Orleans Saints shocked the football world and set up a game against the San Francisco 49ers.
Much like their previous opponents, the 49ers are were 13-3 this season and boast one of the most complete rosters in the league. They will be a massive challenge to the Vikings, who need to travel to California for the game on Saturday.
Let’s take a look at the injury report for the upcoming game in the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs as shared on the team’s official website:
Minnesota Vikings
RULED OUT
- Mackensie Alexander, cornerback – knee
DOUBTFUL
- Jayron Kearse, safety – toe/knee
QUESTIONABLE
- Adam Thielen, wide receiver – ankle
The news was released that Alexander was to have a procedure on his knee on Thursday, so it wasn’t a surprise that his name appeared on the injury report.
