Green Bay Packers Vs. Minnesota Vikings Injury Report Week 16

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — Monday night's game between the Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers isn't for all the marbles, but an argument could be said that it's for a whole bunch of them.

The Packers and Vikings are both destined for the playoffs, but based on what happens Monday night and the following week against a depleted Detroit Lions team, the Packers could find themselves as the NFC's top playoff seed, or the lowest playoff seed. The difference between the two seeds comes down to a first-round bye and at least one home game versus playing up to three games on the road prior to the Super Bowl.

Yikes.

For visiting Green Bay, tackle Bryan Bulaga, corner Kevin King, tackle Alex Light, linebacker Blake Martinez and corner Tramon Williams are all nursing injuries but are certain to play. Tight ends Jimmy Graham and Marcedes Lewis were limited in practice this week, but are also expected to play. Defensive end Dean Lowery is questionable to play.

For the Vikings, defensive tackle Linval Joseph, safety Jayron Kearse, corner Xavier Rhodes and defensive tackle Shamar Stephen are all nursing injuries but are expected to play. It's at running back where the Vikings might be thin. All-world running back Dalvin Cook is out, and his backup Alexander Mattison is questionable.
