After starting the season with a 4-7 record, the Minnesota Vikings are primed to take on the Seattle Seahawks with their playoff lives in the balance.

Sunday afternoon is going to be a big game for the Vikings. There is a chance they can make the playoffs in the NFC, but it’s a very strong conference, and wins will need to come sooner than later. A win over the Seahawks will go a long way to getting a playoff berth.

The latest injury report has a lot of interesting details that will matter on Sunday afternoon.

Observations

No Darrisaw or Jackson is concerning, but it doesn’t mean everything. They both left Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers with their injuries. However, not practicing on both Wednesday and Thursday is seriously concerning.
Greenard being limited makes sense after missing the last two games of the season. Hopefully, he takes a step forward, especially with Dallas Turner now on the report. However, staying limited is a good sign. Friday will tell us everything.
Both Jefferson and Smith got veteran rest days, which isn’t a big deal.
McCarthy being limited just two days after entering concussion protocol is a good sign for the Vikings. Will that mean he ends up playing? Probably not, but it’s a good thing nonetheless.

Observations

The Seahawks are doing a good job of taking care of their veteran players, with four getting rest ahead of Sunday’s game.
Zabel is a name to watch. He was a popular name among Vikings fans in the NFL Draft, but the Seahawks sniped him at 18th overall. He left the game against the Los Angeles Rams, but did return last week against the Tennessee Titans.
