The Minnesota Vikings are on their first two-game skid of the year after another loss in Week 8 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Now, they have to avoid a third loss by dealing with one of the best teams in the NFL, the Detroit Lions.
The Wednesday practice report for the Vikings will serve as a potential barometer for how the team’s week may go.
The injuries have piled up, as we said, but some players are making progress in their return, or have returned altogether. Here is how the injuries and practice status shook down in the report the team released on Wednesday:
