Today’s official injury report has yet to be filed, but coach Mike Zimmer just gave us a sneak preview a minute ago.
According to Zimmer, everyone on the active roster was a full participant today. That includes fullback Zach Line (knee), nose tackle Shamar Stephen (knee) and tight ends MyCole Pruitt (ankle) and Chase Ford (shoulder).
This, obviously, is good news heading into Monday night’s season opener.
If those guys are full participants tomorrow, too, they would likely be listed as probable for the game and available for active duty. However, the Vikings must deactivate seven players before the game. And with four tight ends on the roster, Ford or Pruitt could be one of them.
