Here's the Vikings official injury report for Thursday night's game against Tampa Bay. It's more loaded than it has been all season. But still, the Vikings have remained in good health through the season's first half.
Out: John Carlson (concussion), Mistral Raymond (ankle)
Probable: Adrian Peterson (ankle), Jared Allen (groin), Antoine Winfield (knee), Christian Ponder (knee), Matt Kalil (back), Jerome Simpson (back/foot), Harrison Smith (calf), Robert Blanton (hamstring), Marvin Mitchell (calf), Fred Evans (knee), Matt Asiata (knee)
Linebacker Jasper Brinkley is also listed on the injury report as probable, but only because he missed today's walk-through for non-injury related reasons.
