Final MN Vikings Injury Inactives vs Ravens Revealed
The Minnesota Vikings are getting ready for kickoff Sunday, at home against the Baltimore Ravens. Standing between them and NFC relevance, however, are the 2024 AFC North Champion Ravens.
More importantly, their QB — arguably the biggest dual threat quarterback in NFL history (maybe Michael Vick?) — Lamar Jackson, who would easily be on pace to win his third MVP award, if not for an injury that cost him three of Baltimore’s eight games.
Much like their week 10 opponent, the Ravens are healthier now than they have been all season, even posting a completely clean injury report at the beginning of this week. On Friday afternoon, the Vikings countered with a final injury report of their own that, removing all but four players from their no-fly list vs Baltimore.
Final Injury Inactives: Minnesota Vikings almost all the way back
Aaron Jones suggested he’d be back on the field vs Baltimore, but the Vikings made him “questionable” entering the weekend. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Theo Jackson, who failed to make his way out of concussion protocol in time for kickoff.
Minnesota’s promising young safety showed symptoms Monday when he arrived at TCO Performance Center, fresh off a Vikings upset over the Lions the day before. Just like last week, both Josh Oliver and Jeff Okudah remain out. Neither player practiced this week. Other than that, the Minnesota Vikings are a full-go Sunday.

Kevin O’Connell has been without a bunch of key pieces this year, on both sides of the football. But things appear to be on the upswing, in the MN Vikings injury department. Of course, we all know how quickly that can change.
The Vikings enter their matchup vs Baltimore as pretty significant underdogs (+4.5) for a home team, especially with a home field advantage like what U.S. Bank Stadium offers. In other words, they’ll need all hands on deck to claim their second-straight victory, both of which would come in upset fashion.
Vikings far from injury free… but it could be worse
This is Jeff Okudah’s second concussion of the season, so it’s no surprise the Vikings are taking things slow with him, much like they have with center Ryan Kelly, who returned to practice this week, in a very limited fashion.

We knew Josh Oliver’s injury would be a little while too. So while both absences hurt, we know very well how much worse it could be. Lamar, Derrick Henry and the boys in purple and black will be locked and loaded, fresh off destroying the Miami Dolphins in week 9.
Much like they did Goff and the high powered Lions offense one week ago, the Minnesota Vikings must find a way to rattle Jackson and keep him from beating him with his legs… or winning will be awfully difficult, especially when you are still trying to take the training wheels off your own quarterback, on the other sideline
