Minnesota Vikings fans should be somewhat pleased with this list. Although both McKinnon and Johnson can be huge contributors for the team, other players which were listed earlier in the week have now been removed from the injury report.
Offensive tackle Matt Kalil, cornerback Xavier Rhodes, safety Anthony Harris and tight end Rhett Ellison were all previously included on injury reports in the past, but are all now listed as full, active participants and will be expected to play in Sunday’s game.
In case you were wondering, injury reports look a little different this year, as the “probable” status has been removed for the 2016 season and each designation has been updated according to Vikings.com.
"“A player listed as doubtful has a 25 percent chance of playing, a questionable listing gives the player a 50 percent chance of playing. The probable designation was removed from the injury report prior to the 2016 season.”"
