Blair Walsh's status in doubt for Week 6
The Vikings could be without their kicker in Week 6 against the Panthers, after Blair Walsh landed on the injury report with a hamstring injury. Walsh is officially questionable, and will likely be evaluated prior to gametime to see if he will be able to handle kicking duties.
"We’re going to list him as questionable just because of that tightness," head coach Leslie Frazier said, via NFL.com. "Not sure how he’s going to be. We need to see some things before the game but he should be able to go. Just to err on the side of caution, were going to list him as questionable for the game."
