Week 13 Vikings injury report: Offensive lineman questionable vs. Cardinals

The Minnesota Vikings concluded their three-game road stretch on Sunday when they defeated the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. For Week 13, the team gets to stay in Minnesota and host the Arizona Cardinals.

Some players entered the week with their status for Sunday's game up in the air. For the Vikings, 11 players were on the team's official injury report during the week. Thankfully, only three players for the purple and gold received a designation for the game against Arizona.

Vikings offensive lineman questionable for Week 12 vs. Cardinals

Here is the full injury report for the game between the Minnesota Vikings and Arizona Cardinals in Week 13:

Minnesota Vikings injury report

OUT
Josh Oliver, TE - wrist/ankle
Jay Ward, S - elbow

QUESTIONABLE
Cam Robinson, OT - foot

Once again, the Vikings will be without tight end Josh Oliver. Last week, T.J. Hockenson stepped up big to replace his production, but Minnesota will need that type of play from the other players at that position in his absence.

Jay Ward may not be a familiar name to many fans, but Minnesota's young defensive back has played 224 snaps this season, 212 on special teams. He is a regular contributor who could be missed on Sunday.

The scariest part of this injury report is that starting left tackle Cam Robinson is questionable for this game. Robinson was acquired in a trade with Jacksonville after starter Christian Darrisaw was lost for the season with an injury. If Robinson can't play, expect David Quessenberry to get the nod.

Arizona Cardinals injury report

QUESTIONABLE
Joey Blount, S - hip
Emari Demercado, RB - hip
Darius Robinson, DL - calf
Jalen Thompson, S - ankle

Offensively, the only player to receive a designation on Arizona's injury report is running back Emari Demercado. The third-string running back behind James Connor and Trey Benson, Demercado likely wouldn't have a huge role in the Cardinals' offense on Sunday.

Two defensive backs and one defensive lineman are designated on defense. Jalen Thompson is a starter and could be a huge loss for Arizona if he can't play. Meanwhile, Darius Robinson and Joey Blount are backups but also players who may be contributors on Sunday.

Don't miss the action!

The Minnesota Vikings and Arizona Cardinals are set for a noon CT kickoff on Sunday, Dec. 1 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. The broadcast for this game will be handled by FOX. This is a big game for both teams. Arizona is in a highly competitive NFC West where all four teams have either five or six wins while Minnesota needs to make sure they don't lose ground to the Detroit Lions, who beat the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving.
