Vikings vs. Cowboys Final Week 11 Injury Report: Tomlinson & Evans Out; Za'Darius Smith Questionable

EAGAN, Minn. — The Minnesota Vikings (8-1) conducted their practice week Friday ahead of hosting the Dallas Cowboys (6-3) at 3:25 p.m. (CT) Sunday.

Minnesota won in overtime at Buffalo, and Dallas fell during an extra session at Green Bay in Week 10.

Vikings Injury Report:

The Vikings ruled out defensive lineman Dalvin Tomlinson for a third consecutive week because of a calf injury he suffered against Arizona in Week 8.

Minnesota also ruled out Akayleb Evans (concussion). Head Coach Kevin O'Connell said Evans continues to make progress, and the team is hopeful of having him back next week for its Thanksgiving game against New England.

Outside linebacker Za'Darius Smith (knee) is listed as questionable.

Left tackle Christian Darrisaw and receiver Justin Jefferson (toe) did not receive designations for the game and are expected to be available. Darrisaw was able to return to practice Thursday on a limited basis after leaving last Sunday's game in the concussion protocol.
