Every Saturday is a great time for fans to read the tea leaves on their favorite injured players in the NFL and with several starters on the mend, the Minnesota Vikings are no exception in advance of their Week 9 matchup with the Detroit Lions.
This week’s injury drama for the Vikings involved wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who suffered an injured rib against the New Orleans Saints last Sunday.
Diggs suffered the injury, “falling to the ground,” on a second quarter screen and although he told reporters earlier in the week that he expects to play on Sunday, he did not practice at all this week and was listed as questionable on the team’s final injury report.
