Only one of those has to happen.

Right my mistake. Which makes it even more likely that we are in before our game even starts

Green Bay crushed, Vikings annihilate, I don't think you can possibly have more momentum on your side.

Need to be healthy. Including Kalil.

Mike Zimmer said the X-rays on Matt Kalil's lower leg were negative.

Packers were missing 4 starters on the O line alone today so.. Hopefully we can get healthy as well.

What exactly happened that Kalil injured his leg? I missed it. "Was switching TV operations"
All I know is right after he went out they run a TD play with McKinnon around that side. :whistle:
Kalil has been pretty durable ,he has played even when he was hurt last year. Maybe not the best but he played.

I think he might have been stepped on but I'm not 100% sure. With negative x-rays I'd expect him to play Sunday night.

I think the TD run was before Kalil got hurt, wasn't it?

No because right before that play they showed Kalil heading to the locker room.

Edit: Brandon Fusco was playing on that side.

Just going by memory but basically another player fell and hit him on the side of the leg causing him to go down. It didn't look too bad in terms of an awkward ankle or knee movement and no one landed on top of him but tough to tell from the one angle they showed. He was walking around on the sidelines shortly thereafter.

Linval Joseph (foot) and running back Adrian Peterson (ankle/shoulder) were the only Vikings players held back on Wednesday. Kalil was "limited" with a "lower leg" injury. Also limited were Smith (hamstring), Griffen (shoulder) and Floyd (knee).

Six Packers players were held out of practice in T David Bakhtiari (ankle), DT Mike Daniels (ankle), LB Jayrone Elliott (quad), LB Mike Neal (hip), DT B.J. Raji (brain) and TE Justin Perillo (hamstring). Eight Packers were limited: RB Eddie Lacy (rib), G T.J. Lang (shoulder), CB Sam Shields (brain), G Josh Sitton (back), CB Casey Hayward (ankle), DT Letroy Guion (foot), C Corey Linsley (ankle) and T Bryan Bulaga (ankle).

It is not a good sign that I am excited to see that 3 of our O line starters were simply 'limited' in practice.
