Injury Report: Vikings vs. 49ers

Key Players Out for Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings will be without several key players when they take on the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Quarterback Kirk Cousins is out with a rib injury, and running back Dalvin Cook is out with an ankle injury. Wide receiver Justin Jefferson is also questionable with a shoulder injury.

The Vikings' offense has been one of the most prolific in the NFL this season, but they will have their work cut out for them against the 49ers' tough defense. Without Cousins and Cook, the Vikings will likely rely on backup quarterback Nick Mullens and running back Alexander Mattison.

49ers' Defense Gets Boost

The 49ers' defense is getting a boost with the return of Nick Bosa. Bosa, who missed the first two games of the season with a groin injury, is one of the best pass rushers in the NFL. His presence will make it even more difficult for the Vikings to move the ball.

The 49ers' defense has been one of the best in the NFL this season, allowing just 13.5 points per game. They will be looking to continue their strong play against the Vikings.

Game Outlook

The 49ers are favored by 6.5 points over the Vikings. The Vikings have lost two of their last three games, while the 49ers have won three of their last four. The 49ers are also playing at home, which gives them a slight edge.

The Vikings will need to play their best game of the season to beat the 49ers. They will need to find a way to move the ball without Cousins and Cook, and they will need to stop the 49ers' high-powered offense.
