Week 8 injury report: Minnesota Vikings ‘at’ Cleveland Browns
By Adam Carlson
Check out the injury report from Week 8 when the Minnesota Vikings travel to the United Kingdom to take on the Cleveland Browns at Twickenham Stadium.
The Minnesota Vikings are headed to the land of tea and crumpets for their week 8 contest against the Baltimore Ravens where they will hope to be 6-2 at the halfway point of the 2017 NFL season.
However, the Browns are a hungry team who pushed the Tennessee Titans to the limit last week and are looking to get their first win of the season on a big stage to show that they are a franchise trying to make things right.
One important part of the game is having your best players available. Here are the players whose status are in question headed into the Week 8 game at Twickenham Stadium in Twickenham, England according to the Vikings official website:
Minnesota Vikings
Out
- Sam Bradford, QB – knee
- Jeremiah Sirles, OL – knee
- Stephen Weatherly, DE – knee
Doubtful
- – none –
Questionable
- Mackensie Alexander, CB – hip
- Stefon Diggs, WR – groin
- Nick Easton, G – calf
- Michael Floyd, WR – hamstring
- Riley Reiff, OT – ankle
Once again, quarterback Sam Bradford will be sitting out while Case Keenum gets the start at quarterback. However, seeing Diggs and Easton on the questionable list gives hope that they can contribute in week 8.
Of course, there is also Andrew Sendejo who is suspended for this week. And several other important players including the team’s starting left tackle, two wide receivers, and a cornerback could add depth problems.

Cleveland Browns
Out
- Myles Garrett, DE – concussion
Doubtful
- Jason McCourty, DB – ankle
- Larry Ogunjobi, DL – groin
Questionable
- Trevon Coley, DL – neck
- Jabrill Peppers, DB – toe
Garrett is a huge loss for a team that allows the fewest yards per rushing attempt in the National Football League. However, the team also does allow a staggering amount of yards through the air, and having McCourty and Peppers both in question or doubtful could make the Vikings passing attack even more potent.
