Vikings-Saints First Injury Report

The Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints have released their first injury reports ahead of Sunday’s showdown at the Caesar’s Superdome. Key absences loom for both teams, with Vikings star wide receiver Jordan Addison sidelined by a minor hamstring issue that could impact his availability.

Running back Jordan Mason and offensive tackle Christian Darrisaw are also out with a thumb injury and concussion, respectively, while cornerback Charles Demmings and star receiver Justin Jefferson (ankle) are practicing on limited terms. The Saints face their own challenges, as standout running back Alvin Kamara sits with back tightness and defensive tackle Bryan Bresee is out with a knee injury.

Kelvin Banks and Travis Etienne are also listed as doubtful, while multiple players—including wide receiver Barion Brown and linebacker Kaden Eliss—are dealing with various setbacks that could affect the Saints’ depth chart.

For the Vikings, the absence of Addison and Jefferson adds urgency to a passing game already tested by injuries. Meanwhile, the Saints’ offensive line and running back room could feel the strain without Kamara and Banks.

Both teams have players practicing fully, including Vikings center Michael Jurgens and Saints quarterback Tyler Shough, but the depth concerns remain a focal point as the matchup approaches.
