3 questionable today
The Vikings listed three players as questionable for Sunday’s game, and they hope all will play.
Star safety Harrison Smith, who sat out at Chicago, was limited in practice during the week with knee soreness. But Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell said he has “no reason to believe Harry wouldn’t be there” against the Giants.
Running back Kene Nwangwu, named second-team All-Pro on Friday as a kickoff returner, missed practice Friday because of an illness. O’Connell said the Vikings are “excited to get him back” hopefully at the TCO Performance Center on Saturday, but if he can’t play Sunday, rookie running back Ty Chandler would handle kickoff returns.
Cornerback Cameron Dantzler, who began the season as a starter but now backs up Duke Shelley, missed the entire week of practice due to what O’Connell called a “pretty serious” personal matter. The coach said Dantzler, who has missed seven of the past nine games while battling ankle issues, has “been keeping tabs on the game plan,” and the Vikings hope to have him back to face the Giants.
The Giants listed no players with an injury designation on their final report

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
Having Dantzler back, even as depth, would be big imo.
Annnnnnd Dantzler's out.
Hope everything is ok with Dantzler and his personal life. He's been dealing with something all week.
Sure wish we had Akayleb Evans back. As good as Shelley has been, I think Evans might be our best corner.
