Minnesota Vikings get two huge injury updates before game against Tennessee Titans

The Tennessee titans are making final preparations for their week 11 game against the Minnesota Vikings. It will clearly be a tough match for the team.

In this week’s game, the Vikings look like a very serious competitor in the NFC. They have a 7-2 record entering Sunday’s game. As for the Titans, they are just 2-7 at this point in the year.

That said, Minnesota received two major injury updates before taking on Tennessee.

As shared by NFL insider Ian Rapoportthe Vikings will have both star running back Aaron Jones and quarterback Sam Darnold available to play this week. Jones is dealing with a rib injury, while Darnold has a hand issue.

Both players are going to be the big key for Minnesota to pick up a win on the road.

For the Titans, this makes things more difficult. Neither player was expected to miss this week’s game, but their presence will be a challenge for the Tennesse defense.

On the offensive side of the football, the Titans need to perform strong if they want to compete with the Vikings. Will Levis has to play his best game of the season. He put in a positive performance last week.

A major key for the defense will be finding ways to put pressure on Darnold. Darnold threw three interceptions last week and two interceptions the week before.

If Tennessee can pressure Darnold, they can force some turnovers. Being able to force takeaways would give the Titans a chance to overcome the upset.

That said, both players will be available on Sunday afternoon. Hopefully, Tennessee’s defense is ready for a dogfight and can limit both Darnold and Jones to give themselves a chance at their third win of the year.
