Trae Waynes Jersey , the Vikings lost prime-time games against the Rams, the Saints, the Bears, and the Seahawks. This year, the Vikings have five more night games on the schedule.So why do they suddenly struggle under the lights?“I think it’s just because when you play in prime time everything’s magnified,” tight end Kyle Rudolph recently explained, in a visit to the #PFTPM podcast. “Unless you’re going out there and winning every game in prime time, which is difficult because if you’re playing in prime time you’re probably playing against somebody that’s pretty good. For us under Coach Zimmer we’ve been pretty good in prime time games over the course of the last five years. You do so much to try to keep your routine and whatnot but at the end of the day it’s just football. We’re going out whether we’re playing at noon or 7:30 at night. You go out there and play football and try to be better than that team that night.”Rudolph has a point about the quality of the competition; the Vikings four prime-time losses in 2018 came against playoff teams, including the two NFC finalists.This year Eric Kendricks Jersey , the Vikings have some time to get their footing before playing football at night. The first prime-time game happens on a Thursday night against Washington, after seven regular-season games have been played.Then comes a Week 10 visit to Dallas, followed by a Week 13 trip to Seattle, a Week 16 trip to L.A. to face the Chargers (subject to flexing), and a Week 16 Monday night game against the Packers.By the time the Vikings hit that stretch, the team will have developed its identity. And that’s another point Rudolph made: In 2017, the Vikings had a clear identity. In 2018, they didn’t. This year, they won’t have to worry about playing in prime time while they establish one Infant Marcus Epps Jersey , or while they don’t. Prior to their game on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams, the Minnesota Vikings have only declared one player as out of action (not counting defensive end Everson Griffen, whose situation has already been well-documented), but they have plenty of other questions.Cornerback and punt returner Marcus Sherels will miss his second straight game with a rib injury, as the team has already declared him as “Out” for Thursday’s game. Mike Hughes will once again handle punt return duties in Sherels’ absence.The two biggest names on the list for the Vikings are running back Dalvin Cook and left tackle Riley Reiff, both of whom the Vikings have listed as “questionable” for tomorrow night. Cook missed the game against Buffalo with his hamstring issue, and was limited in practice on both Tuesday and Wednesday. Reiff, on the other hand, has not practiced all week with a foot issue Marcus Epps Jersey nfl draft , and for much of the Mike Zimmer regime the rule has been that if you don’t get into the last practice before a game, you don’t play. If Reiff has to sit out, we’re going to have to see how the Vikings will configure an offensive line that’s already had its issues.Also listed as “questionable” on the injury report for the Vikings are defensive tackle Tom Johnson (ankle) and safety Anthony Harris (hamstring). Harris was limited all week, while Johnson was added to the injury report on Tuesday and has been limited as well.The full Vikings’ injury report for Thursday night is below.
