Vikings injury report: Jonathan Greenard ‘super confident’ he’ll play against the Packers

Vikings

Vikings outside linebacker Jonathan Greenard (left shoulder) was limited at practice Thursday.

He was seen during the viewing period in pads and in his helmet stretching with the team and then working off to the side, though in the capacity some veteran players do to continue warming up while special teams work occurs, not on the rehab field.

Greenard said after practice he’s feeling “good” and that he’s “super confident” he will be able to play Sunday at Green Bay.

Right guard Will Fries (knee) returned to the field after being marked a non-participant Wednesday. He was limited.

Center Ryan Kelly (concussion) was listed as a full participant for the second consecutive day. Running back Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder) also fully participated.

Left tackle Christian Darrisaw (knee) took his typical Thursday rest day. He was the only non-participant at practice.

Running back Josh Jacobs (knee) was upgraded from being a non-participant at Wednesday’s practice to a limited one Thursday, as was wide receiver Savion Williams (foot).

Cornerback Bo Melton was added to the practice report with a shoulder injury that limited him.

Cornerback Nate Hobbs (knee), LB Quay Walker (neck) and defensive lineman Karl Brooks (ankle) remained out.

Still limited were safety Javon Bullard (ankle), linebacker Edgerrin Cooper (foot), receiver Romeo Doubs (wrist), receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder/wrist), cornerback Keisean Nixon (illness), defensive lineman Micah Parsons (pectoral), offensive lineman Zach Tom (back), linebacker Lukas Van Ness (foot), receiver Christian Watson (knee) and receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf).

Vikings

Outside linebacker Jonathan Greenard (left shoulder) was listed as out, but coach Kevin O’Connell said in a news conference that Greenard would work out on the rehab field.

Additionally, guard Will Fries was listed as out of practice with a knee injury.

Center Ryan Kelly (concussion), who had his 21-day practice window for return from injured reserve opened last week, was marked a full participant.

Kelly last appeared in a game in Week 4 against the Steelers in Dublin, which he exited early with his second concussion of the season and fifth of his career.

Kelly was a limited participant all three days of practice last week but ruled out against the Bears on Friday. O’Connell said the team wanted to allow Kelly time to ramp up to a full week of practice but that he’s in a “great spot” now.

Packers

Green Bay running back Josh Jacobs left Sunday’s game against the Giants with a knee injury and did not practice Wednesday. But coach Matt LaFleur called Jacobs “day-to-day.”

Also not practicing were defensive lineman Karl Brooks (ankle), cornerback Nate Hobbs (knee), linebacker Quay Walker (neck) and receiver Savion Williams (foot).
