The Vikings have started hot enough to keep hope alive, but an NFL team’s postseason hopes are contingent on their injury report, so Vikings fans have had plenty to fret about since that fateful practice that led to Teddy Bridgewater missing the entire season.

The injuries are piling up, with left tackle Matt Kalil and running back Adrian Peterson the latest to create headlines and cause concern, but the 2-0 Vikings still present reasons for optimism to their loyal fans.
