Marcus Mariota - right hand/quad
Marcus Mariota is considered day to day after suffering injuries to his quadriceps and right throwing hand that forced him out early in Saturday’s loss to the Eagles.

J.J. McCarthy - Hand
The Vikings revealed McCarthy suffered a hairline fracture in his throwing hand and will not play on Christmas vs. the Lions.

Rice missed Week 16 due to a concussion he suffered in Week 15. On Wednesday, he was placed on season-ending IR.
Amon-Ra St. Brown - Knee
St. Brown was listed as a DNP on Monday with a knee injury. HC Dan Campbell said he's "hopeful" it's irritation from the game and nothing serious. On Tuesday, Campbell said, “There’s some irritation, but again, the news is positive.” He was LP on Tuesday and Wednesday and was listed as questionable.
David Montgomery - Illness
Montgomery returned to practice on Wednesday despite his illness and is listed as questionable.
