**Vikings and Jaguars Release Final Injury Reports for Sunday’s Clash**

The Minnesota Vikings and Jacksonville Jaguars have issued their final injury reports ahead of their anticipated matchup on Sunday. Both teams have pivotal players listed with various injury designations, which could impact the game's dynamic.

Linebackers Blake Cashman (toe) and Ivan Pace Jr. (knee) for the Vikings are both marked as questionable. Yet, their full participation in Friday's practice indicates a high likelihood of them stepping onto the field. Cashman expressed feeling great this week, further suggesting his readiness to play. Another Viking, outside linebacker Gabe Murphy, who is within his 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve, was limited in Friday's practice. As the Vikings boast depth in the OLB position, there is no immediate pressure to activate Murphy, though he had notable first-team reps during the off-season before his injury.

Several other Vikings players, including Harrison Smith and Stephon Gilmore, who were mentioned on the injury list earlier in the week for rest days, show no designations and are set to play on Sunday.

The Jaguars, sitting at a 2-7 record, face a more extensive list of injury concerns. Left guard Ezra Cleveland and defensive tackle Maason Smith are both out, each nursing ankle injuries. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence is marked as questionable due to a left shoulder issue but has trended towards not playing. Should Lawrence sit out, Mac Jones is expected to handle quarterback duties for the Jaguars.

Wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., facing a chest injury, is progressing well according to head coach Doug Pederson and may take the field despite limited practice sessions throughout the week. Additionally, Keilan Robinson (toe), Devin Duvernay (hamstring), and Andrew Wingard (knee), who were all full participants in Friday's practice, are also likely to play.

As game day approaches, the probable absence of Trevor Lawrence stands out as the most significant development, potentially altering Jacksonville's offensive strategy significantly.
