Vikings Pro Bowl blocker to miss Week 8 game against the Chargers

It's a short week for the Minnesota Vikings. After suffering a frustrating loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, the team must turn around and hit the road to play the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday Night Football.

Although the Vikings had their bye week already, the team is still dealing with multiple injuries that could impact the availability of some players to play in a pivotal game in the season for the purple and gold.

The final injury report for the game on Thursday night brings more disappointing news. The Vikings already announced that Carson Wentz would be the starter at quarterback, but now another offensive player could make an impact.
