Vikings special teams ace Heath Farwell (hamstring) is ...

Sep 19, 2009

Vikings special teams ace Heath Farwell (hamstring) is listed as questionable on the injury report released this afternoon. Farwell was limited in practice all week. Starting right guard Anthony Herrera (back) is listed as probable, along with tight end Jim Kleinsasser (left hand). Herrera and Kleinsasser practiced fully today. Linebacker Erin Henderson (calf) is out.
If Farwell is sidelined at Detroit, that would mean the Vikings would be missing two important players on their special teams coverage units, along with Henderson.

According to NFL guideliness, players listed as questionable have a 50 percent chance of playing, and players listed as probable are a virtual certainty to play. Players listed as doubtful have only a 25 percent chance of playing.
UPDATE: The Lions have released their injury report. Here it is below:

Doubtful: Defensive end Cliff Avril (hamstring), quarterback Drew Stanton (knee).

Questionable: Defensive tackle Andre Fluellen (knee), cornerback Eric King (shoulder).

Probable: Cornerback Phillip Buchanon (neck), defensive tackle Grady Jackson (knee), cornerback William James (foot), guard Daniel Loper (knee), kicker Jason Hanson (knee).

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
