Will the football gods smite our Vikings this year?
Or sprinkle them with fairy dust???
Anyone see the 49'er injury list from playing out on that Jersey turf last week? Talk about a season ruined, brutal
Reiff limited?
Tank for Trey (cuz we ain't getting Trevor)!

We're top 5 for Trevor right now. I say keep on praying to the football gods!!!
In the next 5 games the Vikings are on the road against the Texans, Seahawks and Packers with home games vs Titans and Falcons. Realistically the Vikings could be 1-6 or even 0-7 by early November. DON'T BE SHOCKED IF THE INJURY REPORT GROWS EACH WEEK OVER THE NEXT MONTH!
Not only the injuries for the 49ers but this too.
The MRI truck scheduled to go to the Greenbrier broke down, #49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said.

I wouldn't be surprised if Hunter's stint on the IR becomes season long if they do go 0-4 or 0-5

I really do like Trey...and a Minnesota kid! Of course Vikings management has never shown any interest in trying to bring native prospects to the team.
Vikings' defense will be without two top cornerbacks vs. TitansMike Hughes and Cameron Dantzler have been ruled out because of injuries.The Vikings will be without two cornerbacks for Sunday’s game against the Titans as Mike Hughes and Cameron Dantzler have been ruled out after not practicing this week.
Another cornerback — second-year Kris Boyd — is listed questionable to play because of a hamstring injury suffered midweek. Boyd, who would likely play an increased role Sunday if healthy enough, was limited in practices Thursday and Friday.
Running back Mike Boone was a full participant on Friday, but remains in the concussion protocol and is listed questionable.
“We’ve got a lot of corners on this team,” head coach Mike Zimmer said Friday via videoconference. “That’s part of the plan all along, to have some extra guys. We’ll be all right.”
How long they’ll be without Hughes, whose neck resurfaced on the injury report this week after he played 77.5% of defensive snaps in two games, remains unclear. But the Vikings believe it’s not at least a three-week injury, or he’d be on injured reserve. Hughes’ 2019 season ended due to a cracked vertebra, and Zimmer was asked Friday if this neck injury is related.
“I don’t believe so,” he said. “I think he’s going to be fine.”
Dantzler jogged on a side field with a Vikings trainer during Friday’s practice, but he has not been able to practice since injuring a rib Sept. 13 vs. the Packers.
The Vikings defense is expected to turn to cornerbacks Holton Hill, Jeff Gladney and, if healthy enough, Boyd, who played a career-high 49 defensive snaps in last year’s regular season finale.
“Kris has done a nice job with the opportunities he’s had to go in,” Zimmer said. “He played a lot in the last game last year, and then he’s done a nice job in training camp."
