The Minnesota Vikings recently lost to the Los Angeles Chargers 24-28 which could’ve easily been a win but due to an interception thrown by the QB Kirk Cousins in the last minute, they couldn’t win.

The American football executive also said that Minnesota will likely take advantage of their opponent’s position as they’re ready to explode. However, the team’s injury report doesn’t look in a good position as almost half a dozen players are on questionable terms.

Half a dozen Vikings not playing

The team is yet again standing at the shore of having less manpower to win their next match. As reported by their head coach, many players won’t be playing the next match. The centre Garett Bradbury won’t be playing as he suffered a back injury which made him miss the last 11 quarters.

Byron Murphy Jr. (hip injury), Josh Metellus (shoulder injury), and Marcus Davenport (ankle injury), all three of them were put to limited practice on Thursday. Out of these three, Davenport is still expected to be seen in the next game as he’s played over 4 snaps in the last three games.

Soon enough we’ll know who wins this game, until then, what do you think? Which team has got more chances to win? Let us know in the comments section below.
