Minnesota will also be without quarterback Kyler Murray, who was ruled out because of a hamstring injury. Carson Wentz will take over as the starter, making his second start this season.

The Vikings also ruled out running back Demond Claiborne because of a knee injury. Two safeties remain questionable: Theo Jackson has a quad injury, while Jay Ward has a knee injury.
