Minnesota Vikings injury report for Week 15 vs. Dolphins

The Minnesota Vikings seem to get healthier as the season goes on, with the injury report for Week 15 against Miami being smaller than previous weeks.

Week 15 of the 2018 NFL season has arrived and this week the opponent for the Minnesota Vikings is the Miami Dolphins, a hard-nosed squad with a winning record and playoff hopes still alive.

Meanwhile, the Vikings are clinging to the sixth spot in the NFC and are hoping to make the postseason despite back-to-back losses featuring struggling offense and the recent firing of their offensive coordinator.

Both teams will need to be on the top of the game if they want a win at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday, Dec. 16. And having a healthy team is a great step toward being as good as possible. Here is the full injury report for Week 15 according to the Vikings official website!

Minnesota Vikings

OUT

• Chad Beebe, WR – hamstring

DOUBTFUL

• – none –

QUESTIONABLE

• David Morgan, TE – knee
• Mike Remmers – low back
• Sheldon Richardson, DT – hip

With each passing week, it looks like the Vikings continue to get healthier. With only Beebe ruled out this week, that means there is a chance that blocking specialist Morgan will be able to suit up and play, which would be a big help. However, if Richardson can’t go, expect Tom Johnson to get the starting nod.

The surprise here is that Brian O’Neill is nowhere on the report. After leaving last week’s game with an injury, the right tackle seems to be ready to roll against the Dolphins defense, which is a very good sign.

Miami Dolphins

OUT

• – none –

DOUBTFUL

• Xavien Howard, CB – knee

QUESTIONABLE

• T. J. McDonald, S – ankle

With nobody ruled out, Miami might not be missing anyone from their starting lineup in Week 15. However, if starting cornerback Howard isn’t able to go, that might be a good sign for Minnesota’s pass catchers on Sunday.

Which questionable player for the Minnesota Vikings would be the biggest blow to the team if they were unable to suit up on Sunday? Does the team have the talent to beat the Dolphins and stay in that sixth playoff seed for another week? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section!
