The Vikings Final Injury Report: Week 11

World Reacts to Vikings
Matt Krohn-USA TODAY Sports.

The Minnesota Vikings travel home for a date with the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday at 3:25 pm CST, the 10th regular season game of the 2022 season.

The Vikings beat the Buffalo Bills in Week 10, while the Cowboys lost to the Green Bay Packers on the road. Dallas, now 6-3 through nine games, has a firm grip on a playoff spot but must win to keep pace in the NFC East for a possible division crown.

The Vikings injury report isn’t ideal but also isn’t heinous.
