Vikings vs. 49ers Week 7 Final Injury Report: Cleveland Out; Evans & Nailor Questionable
EAGAN, Minn. — The Vikings on Saturday ruled out left guard Ezra Cleveland for Monday’s game against the 49ers at U.S. Bank Stadium.
Cleveland suffered a foot injury in Week 6 at Chicago and was replaced by veteran Dalton Risner, who signed with Minnesota after the 2023 season started.
The injury will halt Cleveland’s consecutive starts streak at 45 regular-season games, which began Dec. 6, 2020, and was the longest among Vikings offensive linemen.
