Chances of the Vikings upsetting the Packers
have declined due to starting QB Kirk Cousins
positive test for Covid on Friday, & due to his
unvaccinated status, he's out for the Packers

Speaking of unvaccinated players, Cowboys LB
Keanu Neal has tested positive for Covid-19 for
the 2nd time during 2021 as an unvaccinated
player. He previously missed Weeks 3 & 4 due
to testing positive for Covid-19. He will miss
the Cards game & he may be able to return for
the Eagles game.
