Cleveland Browns At Minnesota Vikings: Inactive Lists

The Cleveland Browns and Minnesota Vikings have both released their list of inactive players for this afternoon's contest at the Metrodome. Let's take a look at both lists, starting with the visiting team.

Cleveland Browns

DL Armonty Bryant
DE Quentin Groves
G Shawn Lauvao
OL Patrick Lewis
TE Keavon Milken
OL Martin Wallace
QB Brandon Weeden

Bobby Rainey is currently listed as the Browns' starting running back. We'll see how much the newly-acquired Willis McGahee plays.

And now, we move on to the list for the home team.

Minnesota Vikings

G Jeff Baca
DT Chase Baker
QB McLeod John Balthazar Bethel-Thompson
TE Rhett Ellison
LB Gerald Hodges
DE George Johnson
S Mistral Raymond

We've known about the Ellison thing since Friday, so that's not a surprise at this point. Linebacker Michael Mauti is active today after being inactive for the first two games of this season. Hell of a comeback from a guy coming back from his third torn ACL. He'll be a part of the special teams units in this one.

Those are your inactive lists for the Cleveland Browns and the Minnesota Vikings leading into this afternoon's game, folks. The Open Thread for the first quarter will be open shortly, and kickoff is still about an hour and a half away.
