Final Vikings injury report: Jauan Jennings out, two safeties questionable
Could this be the week Odell Beckham Jr. makes his Vikings debut?
The Minnesota Vikings have released their final injury report ahead of Monday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills. Quarterback Kyler Murray will be absent due to a hamstring injury, alongside wide receiver Jauan Jennings who is out with a calf strain. Jennings' calf strain may have worsened during Thursday's practice. He has only seen limited participation since then, playing in just six games this season.
The Vikings will likely promote wide receiver Tai Felton to third on the depth chart behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. Return specialist Myles Price is also expected to contribute more on offense. The team may also choose to elevate a wide receiver from the practice squad, possibly including Jeshaun Jones, Odell Beckham Jr., or rookie Dillon Bell.
Veteran safety Theo Jackson and rookie safety Jay Ward are questionable for the game due to a quad injury and knee issue respectively. If needed, rookie Jacob Thomas is prepared to step in. Christian Darrisaw and Andrew Van Ginkel have been cleared and are available to play. The Vikings are expected to make a decision on Beckham's debut later in the week.
