Injury Report Terms and Glossary
- FP = Full participant in practice.
- LP = Limited participant in practice.

Injury designation definitions:
Probable = the league defines a Probable injury designation as a 75% or greater chance of playing. Historically, 95% of players designated probable are active and played on game day.
Questionable = the league defines a Questionable injury designation as being ‘uncertain’ of whether the player will play or not. This replaces the former definition of having a 50% chance of playing. Historically, 70-75% of players with a Questionable injury designation were active and played on game day.
Doubtful = The league defines a Doubtful injury designation to mean the player is unlikely to participate in the game. In practical terms, teams use the designation when a player has less than a 50% chance to suit up, and active game appearances from this designation remain rare. Historically only around 6% of players with a Doubtful designation are active and played on game day.
Out = will not play. Players with this designation are not active on game day and league rules prohibit them from playing.
Notes on Injured Players
For the Vikings, full roster participation apart from those on injured reserve. Unlikely to be any injury designations.
For the Colts, they had some players upgraded and one added- linebacker CJ Allen. But starters Sauce Gardner, Tyler Warren, and Rigoberto Sanchez did not practice for a second straight day on Thursday, making their availability on Sunday increasingly doubtful.
We’ll see what injury designations are given tomorrow.
