EAGAN, Minn. — The Vikings (14-2) on Friday ruled out outside linebacker Pat Jones II (knee) for Sunday's winner-takes-the-division Week 18 game at the Detroit Lions (14-2).
Minnesota listed linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill (illness) and cornerback Fabian Moreau (hip) as questionable.
The other players on the Vikings report this week for injuries — Harrison Smith (foot), fullback C.J. Ham (quadriceps), running back Aaron Jones, Sr. (quadriceps), tight end Josh Oliver (wrist) and guard Ed Ingram (back) — did not receive game status designations and are expected to be available.
The contest is the first regular-season game between two teams with 14 wins in NFL history and will break a previous record for combined wins between two teams in a regular-season game (25: between the Patriots and Giants in 2007 and between the Seahawks and Colts in 2005).
