Vikings Week 5 injury report: Ellefson out, Za'Darius Smith and Cam Dantzler in
Despite popping up as a limited participant on Thursday's injury report, Cam Dantzler is available for Sunday's game against the Bears.
The only player listed as out for Week 5 is tight end Ben Ellefson who first appeared on the injury report Thursday with a groin problem.
Vikings would presumably call up veteran Jacob Hollister (57 career games with NE, SEA, JAX) from the practice squad to be TE3 if Ellefson's out. Seventh-round rookie Nick Muse is also on the PS. https://t.co/OYnMpCbGmM

Linebacker Za'Darius Smith had appeared on the Vikings injury report all week long but is available, while cornerback Andrew Booth Jr. is listed as questionable alongside wide receiver Jalen Nailor.
Booth, who the Vikings picked up in the second round of this year's draft, has been inactive since suffering an injury in the season opener against Green Bay.
The Bears released their final injury report as well, listing starting cornerback Jaylon Johnson as doubtful.
