As we inch closer and closer to Wild Card Weekend we're going to be keeping an eye on the injury report for both the New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings.

Thursday's report was not good for the Saints secondary as Eli Apple didn't partake for the second straight day. Here's what the rest of the injury report looks like for both teams.

**NEW ORLEANS SAINTS**
Position	Name	Injury	Wednesday	Thursday
CB	Eli Apple	Ankle	DNP	DNP
FB	Zach Line	Knee	DNP	DNP
S	Vonn Bell	Knee	LP	FP
S	Marcus Williams	Groin	LP	FP
WR	Michael Thomas	Hand	LP	FP
RB	Dwayne Washington	Knee	LP	FP

MINNESOTA VIKINGS

Position	Name	Injury	Wednesday	Thursday
LB	Eric Kendricks	Quadriceps	DNP	LP
DE	Stephen Weatherly	Illness	DNP	DNP
CB	Mackensie Alexander	Knee	DNP	DNP
S	Andrew Sendejo	Illness	DNP	DNP
DE	Ifeadi Odenigbo	Hamstring	LP	LP
CB	Mike Hughes	Neck	FP	LP
S	Jayron Kearse	Foot	FP	FP
RB	Alexander Mattison	Ankle	FP	FP
CB	Xavier Rhodes	Ankle	FP	FP
RB	Dalvin Cook	Shoulder	FP	FP
DT	Shamar Stephen	Knee	FP	FP

So, other than Apple and Line the Saints are pretty healthy.

On the other hand, the Vikings have some problems on defense as Eric Kendricks is trying to come back from a quad injury and Ifeadi Odenigbo has been slowed by a hamstring.

As for the weak secondary, they're dealing with some major injuries as well. Mackensie Alexander, Andrew Sendejo, and Mike Hughes are in serious doubt for this one. If those guys aren't able to go, it's going to spell big-time trouble for Minnesota.
