EAGAN, Minn. — The Minnesota Vikings (9-2) on Friday ruled out tight end Josh Oliver (wrist/ankle) and safety Jay Ward (elbow) for Sunday's Week 13 home game against the Arizona Cardinals (6-5).
Minnesota listed tackle Cam Robinson (foot) as questionable.
Oliver missed Minnesota's Week 12 game at Chicago after starting the first 10 games of the season. He had been playing through the wrist injury, but the ankle injury suffered at Tennessee sidelined him in Chicago.
Robinson and Ward suffered their injuries last week against the Bears, leaving the contest early.
Veteran David Quessenberry filled in for Robinson for the final 62 of 71 offensive snaps for Minnesota.
The other players on this week's report because of injuries — outside linebackers Andrew Van Ginkel (thigh) and Pat Jones II (knee), defensive lineman Jonathan Bullard (toe), linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill (shoulder) and receiver Brandon Powell (ankle) — did not receive a designation and are expected to be available.
