Van Ginkel (neck) was limited in Wednesday's practice

Van Ginkel missed five games earlier in the season due to a neck injury. He has played in the Vikings' last two games, but the issue appears to have cropped up again, limiting his practice participation to open Week 11 prep. Van Ginkel will have two more opportunities to log a full practice and fade an injury designation ahead of Sunday's NFC North clash against Chicago.

Metellus (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Metellus was cleared to play through a foot issue during the Vikings' Week 10 loss to the Ravens, when he posted three tackles (two solo) while playing every single defensive snap. Given his ability to practice Wednesday, Metellus should be able to play in Sunday's NFC North tilt against the Bears, barring a setback. The 2020 sixth-rounder has accumulated 22 tackles (nine solo), including 0.5 sacks, and an interception in the four games since the Vikings' Week 6 bye.

Hutchinson (elbow) didn't participate in Detroit's practice Wednesday, Eric Woodyard of ESPN reports.

Hutchinson popped up on the injury report after failing to record any tackles in the Week 10 win over the Commanders. However, the injury isn't expected to be serious, and the 25-year-old said he'll be good to go for Sunday's matchup versus the Eagles.

Williams (foot) was limited on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

After losing to the Eagles on Monday night, Green Bay held a walkthrough Wednesday. Williams went into that loss dealing with a foot injury but was cleared to play. However, the rookie wideout played just six offensive snaps, catching two pass for two yards.

Floyd (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Floyd was held out of Atlanta's Week 10 loss to the Colts and remains sidelined to begin the next week of preparation. That doesn't bode well for his availability in Week 11 against the Panthers, though his status should become clearer as the week progresses.

London (shoulder) logged a full practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

London missed Atlanta's Week 10 loss to the Colts with a shoulder injury. He practiced in limited fashion throughout the week, so his upgrade to a full session Wednesday should bode well for his availability in Week 11 against the Panthers.

Roberts (knee/ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Roberts left Sunday's game against the Colts with an ankle injury. It's unclear when the knee injury occurred, though he'll have to overcome both issues to suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.

Joseph (knee) didn't participate in Detroit's practice Wednesday.

Joseph remains sidelined after missing the team's last three games with the knee injury he sustained in the Week 6 loss to the Chiefs. If he's unable to return to practice before Sunday's matchup versus the Eagles, Thomas Harper would likely make his fourth consecutive start at safety.

Dorlus (oblique) did not practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Dorlus has sacks in consecutive games, showing no sign of being slowed by injury. However, he appeared on Wednesday's injury report and his participation will now be worth watching or the rest of the week.

Wright (ankle) didn't participate in Detroit's practice Wednesday.

Wright played 27 snaps during the Week 11 win over the Commanders, so it's unclear when he sustained this injury. While his availability in Thursday and Friday's practice sessions will provide more clarity toward his status for Sunday's matchup versus the Eagles, if he ends up being unable to suit up, Ross Dwelley could see increased playing time.
