Injuries have stalled the progression of the Minnesota Vikings offense through six weeks this season. Justin Jefferson, Jordan Mason, Kyler Murray, Christian Darrisaw, Donovan Jackson, and others have all dealt with injuries this year, meaning we have not seen this group at their full potential. Are injuries the biggest issue with this offense this year?
According to ESPN's Kevin Seifert, injuries are, in fact, the biggest issue this season. Seifert mentioned this in ESPN's week seven power rankings:
The Vikings spent the five games before their bye searching for smooth air offensively. There were plenty of reasons for that, but the biggest was simply health-related personnel turnover. Players who have missed at least one game include quarterback Kyler Murray (concussion), receivers Justin Jefferson (ankle) and Jordan Addison (hamstring), running back Jordan Mason (finger), left tackle Christian Darrisaw (concussion), left guard Donovan Jackson (knee), and tight ends T.J. Hockenson (concussion) and Josh Oliver (biceps). All but Jackson and Oliver are expected to return next week. -- Kevin Seifert
We will have our next chance to see this offense in action, as they take on the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Murray and company will look to extend their undefeated record to 5-0 on the year.
