Vikings Injuries Cloud London Game vs Browns

The Minnesota Vikings will face the Cleveland Browns in a Week 5 international game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, scheduled to kick off at 9:30 a.m. ET and airing on NFL Network and NFL+ with local broadcasts expected in Ohio and Minnesota. The Vikings issued a 13-player injury report that lists six players as ruled out, most notably quarterback J.J. McCarthy and multiple offensive linemen, casting significant doubt on their lineup and game plans for the London trip. That injury crisis could affect how Minnesota approaches the international matchup and Week 5 coverage. The team also released its 2026 home-and-away opponent list, which features NFC North rivals and games against teams from the NFC East, AFC South and NFC West. It remains unclear whether any Vikings home games in 2026 will be played in Europe; the NFL typically announces international home dates in May.
