Vikings quietly promote fan-favorite CB ahead of Packers showdown

There is only one game left on the schedule for the Minnesota Vikings this season. A matchup against the playoff-bound Green Bay Packers at U.S. Bank Stadium in Week 18 still holds meaning for the team and its fans.

The Vikings are beat up heading into Sunday afternoon's game. With multiple injuries impacting the team, the sad news was shared on Monday that defensive lineman Elijah Williams' ankle injury, which he suffered against the Detroit Lions in Week 17, was more severe than initially thought.

Minnesota shared on the official team website that Williams has been placed on injured reserve, ending his season after notching nine tackles on defense and special teams.
