Tight end Jermichael Finley and receiver Brett Swain each sprained a knee in Sunday's win, coach Mike McCarthy said.

Swain said he'll have an MRI on Monday. Finley wasn't seen in the locker room after the game.

Linebacker Brandon Chillar hit his elbow while covering a late punt. Receiver Greg Jennings got dirt in his eye late in the game. Both said they're fine.

Keep fingers crossed. Preliminary diagnosis is typically sprain/strain until imaging results known. Can't diagnosis meniscus tear on physical exam.

I thought Havner looked pretty damn good. Maybe this is the break he needed?

What do we do if both Nelson and Swain are unavailable next week?

Probably promote from the Practice Squad.

Unless someone is out for the year, who do we cut to make the roster spot?

I think we'll just go with 3 WRs. It sucks but I don't think we have a better option at this point, especially since Nelson should be back soon.

Run the ball, or alternatively "don't run plays that call for 4 WR at the same time".

Seems like that is playing into the Vike's strength.

Can a practice squad promotion be made for one game only?
