Minnesota Vikings week 4 injury report vs Green Bay Packers
Head coach Kevin O’Connell addressed the media after today’s practice, sharing updates on which players will be available for this week’s game. In a positive turn for the Vikings and their fans, only one player will miss Sunday’s matchup.
“Ivan Pace will be out this week. He’s getting really close, and we hope to have him back next week, but we want to be smart with Ivan and give him the weekend to get him up and rolling. He’s done a nice job in his rehab and is right around the corner from being back out there with us full time. Other than that, no otherCo players will go in with a game designation. A lot of guys got some full work today.”
