The Minnesota Vikings and Houston Texans have released their inactive lists for this afternoon's contest at Reliant Stadium. Let's take a look at them, starting with the visiting Minnesota Vikings.
QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson
WR Stephen Burton
CB Brandon Burton
LB Audie Cole
OT Troy Kropog
DE D'Aundre Reed
DE Brian Robison
Robison is the biggest name on the list, but not completely unexpected. Everson Griffen will get the start in his place. Also interesting the D'Aundre Reed is down while DE George Johnson, who was just brought up from the practice squad a couple of days ago, is active.
Now, on to the Houston Texans.
CB Alan Ball
G Antoine Caldwell
S Quinton Demps
OT Andrew Gardner
DT Terrell McClain
CB Stanford Routt
G Cody White
Ball was the only player the Texans listed as "out" this week. Hilariously enough, the other six players the Texans have deactivated for this week were not among the approximately 206 players that the Texans listed as "probable" on their final injury report this past Friday.
So, there are your lists, ladies and gentlemen. Game Thread will be up in a little more than fifteen minutes or so.
