The Minnesota Vikings have a tough road test on Sunday afternoon against the division rival Green Bay Packers. This could end up being the reason why the Vikings either feel good about potentially getting a playoff spot or not making it at all.
If they want to put themselves in a position to get a playoff spot, it’s going to come down to winning in the trenches. The Vikings have two of their better trench players on the injury report, but it’s looking better for them heading into Sunday, while the Packers still have a loaded injury report.

Observations
Head coach Kevin O’Connell reported that Greenard and Kelly would be back on the practice field on Wednesday, and now they are the only players remaining on the injury report with a questionable designation.
Fries improving every day likely means that his injury isn’t much of a concern, but rather they were just being cautious.

Observations
This is a really long list, but it got shorter on Sunday. The only player who was eligible to practice all week and who was ruled out is Hobbs. Reed had his practice window activated and practiced in a limited capacity.
Likely having no Walker is a big deal, as is having three wide receivers questionable in Golden, Wicks, and Williams.
