Green Bay ruled out four players: linebacker Quay Walker (ankle), safety Evan Williams (quadricep), offensive lineman Andre Dillard (concussion) and cornerback Jaire Alexander (knee).
Safety Javon Bullard (ankle), wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) and linebacker Ty’Ron Hopper (ankle) are questionable for the game.
Bullard, who has missed the past two games, practiced on a limited basis all three days.
Watson, Green Bay’s second-leading receiver, did not practice this week, but head coach Matt LeFleur said it remains a possibility he will play.
After Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold came up limping from a hit against the Seahawk last Sunday, he gave O’Connell a thumbs up and then threw a 39-yard touchdown to wide receiver Justin Jefferson the next play.
“You can’t measure Sammy D’s toughness,” running back Aaron Jones said Thursday. “I don’t think there’s a measuring stick or anything like that for that. … You may see him hobbling back out there, but he’s giving his all, and that speaks volumes of him. He plays with his heart, and that’s another thing you can’t measure.”
