Here’s who will be sitting out today
We’re right around ninety minutes from kickoff at U.S. Bank Stadium, and the Minnesota Vikings and Atlanta Falcons have both released their inactive lists for today’s game. Let’s take a look at who will be sitting out of this one.
Atlanta Falcons
- CB Natrone Brooks
- LB Rashaan Evans
- RB Jase McClellan
- OT Brandon Parker
- WR Casey Washington
- WR Elijah Wilkinson
McClellan and Washington were both declared out on the Falcons’ final injury report, and the only other player they had listed as “questionable” for this one, former Vikings’ cornerback Mike Hughes, is active today. No big surprises on the inactive list for Atlanta.
Minnesota Vikings
- OL Dan Feeney
- CB Stephon Gilmore
- OLB Pat Jones II
- DL Levi Drake Rodriguez
- OL Walter Rouse
- QB Brett Rypien (emergency QB)
All of the Vikings who were listed as “questionable” on the Vikings’ final injury report are active today with the exception of Jones. That includes Andrew Van Ginkel, Harrison Phillips, and Dalton Risner, among others. Gabe Murphy is active for his first NFL game, and Ed Ingram is active to serve as offensive line depth after being inactive last week. Rookie cornerback Dwight McGlothern is also “up” for the first time in his NFL career.
Those are your inactive lists for both the Minnesota Vikings and the Atlanta Falcons ahead of this Week 14 contest. We’ll have our first discussion thread of the afternoon dropping at 11:30 AM Central, and we hope that you’ll join us for all of today’s action!
