The Minnesota Vikings released their injury report on Thursday ahead of their Week 4 game with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and OLB Andrew Van Ginkel remained out of practice with a neck injury. That was the negative news for the Vikings, who saw former Steelers DL Javon Hargrave upgraded to limited after not practicing yesterday with a chest injury, while S Josh Metellus, a do-it-all defender for Minnesota, was upgraded from limited to full with a foot injury.
The Vikings posted their Thursday report to their official Twitter account.
