Jay Ward, who missed the previous game due to an elbow injury, was a full participant in Friday's practice and will be available for the matchup against the Falcons.

Jay Ward was limited in Thursday's practice, indicating he may be dealing with an injury as the Vikings prepare for their Week 14 game. His status could impact the team's defensive strategy against the Falcons.

Jay Ward was sidelined due to an elbow injury, making him one of the few Vikings players not participating in practice this week. His absence adds to the team's injury concerns as they prepare for upcoming games.

Jay Ward came close to making a pivotal play when the 49ers muffed a punt midway through the third quarter. He was in position to recover the loose ball, but ultimately, San Francisco managed to secure it. Had Ward successfully recovered, it could have significantly shifted the momentum in favor of the Vikings.
