    NFL Inactives Tonight: Vikings vs. Rams Injury Report Including Cam Akers, Aaron Jones, Sam Darnold, and Others

    The final game of Wild Card Weekend is the 4/5 matchup in the NFC playoffs between the 14-3 Minnesota Vikings and the 10-7 and NFC West champion Los Angeles Rams.

    This game was moved to State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona as a result of the wildfires in Los Angeles, but the Cardinals are making their place feel like a home game for the Rams, painting the field and taking care of the locker rooms.

    Let’s take a look at the latest injury news for this final Monday night feature of the 2024 season.

    Latest Injury Report News and Updates

    Only one Viking was ruled out for Monday and that is linebacker Patrick Jones II with a knee injury. Only two players are listed as questionable: running back Cam Akers (illness) and defensive lineman Taki Taimani (ankle).

    Akers was added to the injury report Saturday with his illness, setting up the questionable tag. Taimani is in his 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve but did log a full week of practice.

    Safety Harrison Smith and cornerback Stephon Gilmore were given rest days on Saturday.

    Running backs Aaron Jones (quad) and Ty Chandler (illness), quarterback Sam Darnold (quad), cornerback Fabian Moreau (hip) and tight end Josh Oliver (wrist) were all also listed on the injury report this week. All were full participants in practice Saturday and are good to go for Monday.

    The Rams’ injury report is incredibly light heading into the playoffs. Only two players even appear on the report: tight end Hunter Long (quad) and offensive lineman Rob Havenstein (shoulder). Long practiced in full all week. Havenstein was limited Thursday and Friday and full on Saturday — that’s been his weekly routine this season with his injuries.

    Neither player has a game designation, so the Rams have all hands on deck for Monday.
