Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions: Interim injury reports
The second injury reports of the week are out for the Minnesota Vikings and the Detroit Lions as they prepare for Sunday’s regular season finale at Ford Field. Let’s take a look at the reports and see if any significant changes have been made, shall we?
Minnesota Vikings
Did Not Participate
- CB Mekhi Blackmon (shoulder, downgrade from LP on Wednesday
- OT Christian Darrisaw (illness, new addition to injury report)
- CB Byron Murphy (knee)
- WR Jalen Nailor (concussion)
- OT Brian O’Neill (ankle)
- DT Jaquelin Roy (ankle)
Limited Participation
- G Ed Ingram (shoulder)
- DB Theo Jackson (toe)
- TE Nick Muse (knee)
- S Harrison Smith (shoulder)
Full Participation
No players listed
Just a couple of changes on the report for Minnesota, and neither of them are positive. Darrisaw is now battling some sort of illness that kept him on the sidelines on Thursday, but hopefully it’s something he’ll be able to get over before Sunday. After participating in a limited capacity on Wednesday, Blackmon was back on the sidelines as well. Rarely is it a good thing for a player to be downgraded in the middle of the week like that. We’ll know more tomorrow.
Detroit Lions
Did Not Participate
- DL Benito Jones (illness, new addition to injury report)
- C Frank Ragnow (knee/back/toe, rest day)
- WR Jameson Williams (ankle)
- TE Brock Wright (hip)
Limited Participation
- LB James Houston (ankle)
- TE Sam LaPorta (ankle)
- DT Alim McNeil (knee)
Full Participation
- OT Taylor Decker (groin, upgrade from DNP on Wednesday)
- S C.J. Gardner-Johnson (pectoral)
- CB Cameron Sutton (toe)
Ragnow is getting his standard rest day in the middle of the week, much like he did the last time these two teams played. The Lions also gave G Graham Glasgow a day of rest, too, but he wasn’t previously on the injury report so I didn’t bother putting him on here. Taylor Decker is back to practice after sitting out on Wednesday, and that pretty well does it for the Lions’ second injury report.
We’ll have the final injury reports for you when they come out sometime tomorrow afternoon.
Chickens and geese that went missing from a local nonprofit’s Detroit site were found in the backyard of a nearby home, the director of operations said Wednesday.
The Full Circle Foundation, a Grosse Point Park-based nonprofit, said more than a dozen chickens and geese were believed stolen from a chicken coop on Detroit’s east side that also features the Full Circle Edible Garden.
The nonprofit provides training and job opportunities for young people with special needs.
Neighbors who learned from news reports about the missing flock found the “chickens were being held in the backyard of a vacant home not far from the Full Circle Edible Garden,” said Stephanie DiVirgil, director of operations. She said Ribbon Farm 4-H owns the flock.
“The homeowner was contacted, and she reached out to Full Circle to confirm,” said DiVirgil. “We were able to retrieve all of the chickens and geese that were found on the property, 19 in total.”
The foundation and Ribbon Farms 4-H are working to secure the site, including cameras, fencing and lights.
“We will likely start a fundraising campaign to have these items installed,” DiVirgil said. “We’ve gotten amazing support from the community, including offers to help pay for these additional security measures.”
DETROIT (WXYZ) — Human remains were found in a furnace of an home on Detroit’s west side, the Detroit Police Department tells us.

The Detroit Police Department is investigating after a 5-year-old child was shot in the arm near a park on Tuesday.
The shooting happened at about 8:50 p.m. near the Fargo-Oaklfield Playground on the city’s west side. Police Chief Todd Bettison says the child was in front of his home riding a bike with his father supervising at the time of the shooting.
Bettison says an individual at the park fired multiple shots, striking the child. He says the boy’s father reported hearing shots and the child falling from his bike.
Bettison says the child is expected to be OK.
Bettison says the person appears to have been firing shots randomly, which he calls “problematic.” He says a person of interest is described as possibly between 15 and 16 years old and wearing a mask. He says the person is known to frequent the area.
“When you fire a weapon, what goes up must go down,” Bettison said. “To parents and everyone, know where your kids are. Juveniles should not have guns, and whether you’re an adult or a child, you should not be firing a weapon inside of the city limits.”
Detroit Mayor Mary Sheffield released a statement, saying in part, “By the grace of God, this young boy will recover from his injury and is on his way home from the hospital. With that said, this incident was senseless and could have had a much more tragic ending.
“Every child in Detroit deserves to feel safe riding their bike, playing outside, and simply being a child in their own neighborhood. We cannot accept a reality where our children are placed in harm’s way because someone chose to recklessly fire a gun.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-Speak Up.
