We're approximately 90 minutes away from kickoff at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Buffalo for this afternoon's game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Buffalo Bills. That means both teams have made their inactive lists available, so let's see which players will be sitting this one out for both teams. As always, we start with the visitors.
Minnesota Vikings
LB Gerald Hodges
FB Zach Line
TE Kyle Rudolph
LB Brandon Watts
G Austin Wentworth
DE Corey Wootton
G David Yankey
Chad Greenway is active and, from all accounts, is back in the starting lineup after missing three games with a couple of different injuries. In a way, it will be good to see him back, though Hodges did a decent job of holding things down in his place. Defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd, who was also listed as questionable, is also active.
And now, on to the home team
Buffalo Bills
RB Bryce Brown
CB Ross Cockrell
WR Marcus Easley
WR Marquise Goodwin
OL Cyrus Kouandjio
S Kenny Ladler
LB Ty Powell
For the Bills, wide receiver Mike Williams is active again after missing a couple of games. Without him, the Bills would have been down to three wide receivers. Other than that, no real surprises on the list for Buffalo.
And there are the inactive lists for both the Vikings and the Bills leading into this afternoon's contest, ladies and gentlemen. The Open Thread will be popping up right around 11 AM Central time, and we hope you'll join us for today's game.
