As the 2025 Minnesota Vikings season draws to a close, both the Vikings and their rivals, the Green Bay Packers, have finalized their injury reports ahead of the upcoming game at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The Green Bay Packers have listed several players on their injury report. Offensive lineman Donovan Jennings, linebacker Nick Neimann, and guard John Williams have all been ruled out due to various injuries, including throat, pectoral, and knee issues, respectively. Wide receiver Savion Williams is also out with a foot injury combined with illness, while receiver Dontayvion Wicks is labeled doubtful with a concussion. Offensive lineman Zach Tom and quarterback Malik Willis are marked as questionable, facing back/knee and right shoulder/hamstring injuries, respectively. Despite being cleared, quarterback Jordan Love has been declared inactive for the game, with the Packers indicating that key players like linebacker Edgerrin Cooper and running back Josh Jacobs may see limited action, given that the team has nothing significant to play for in this matchup.
On the Vikings side, the injury list includes tight ends Gavin Bartholomew and T.J. Hockenson, both ruled out due to back and shoulder injuries. Running back Aaron Jones has also been sidelined with a hip injury, while wide receiver Myles Price is out with an ankle injury. Cornerback Dwight McGlothern is questionable after being added to the injury report on Friday, but the team has promoted cornerback Zemaiah Vaughn from the practice squad to ensure sufficient depth. Notably, Bartholomew is officially out for the entire season due to his ongoing back issue.
An encouraging highlight for the Vikings is that quarterback J.J. McCarthy has no injury designation and has been confirmed as the starter for Sunday’s game. This presents an opportunity for him to finish the season on a high note and lay a foundation for future success as the team transitions into the offseason. The matchup promises to bring an exciting conclusion to this season, with both teams eager to showcase their talent despite the challenges faced due to injuries.
