Kene Nwangwu Questionable With Illness
3 years agoMinnesota Vikings rookie running back Kene Nwangwu (illness) is now listed as questionable for Week 13 against the Detroit Lions. Late additions to the injury report usually aren't a good sign, and with Dalvin Cook (shoulder) out this weekend, the Vikings could be dangerously thin at the position behind Alexander Mattison if Nwangwu is unable to play Sunday. Minnesota has rookie AJ Rose and Jake Bargas on the practice squad, so they could elevate one or both of them to the active roster if Nwangwu can't recover in time for Sunday's game. Nwangwu was expected to have a role as the change-of-pace behind Mattison against Detroit, but Mattison is expected to see the lion's share of the work.
