Minnesota Vikings at Miami Dolphins: Inactive Lists For Both Teams

We're ninety minutes from kickoff at Sun Life Stadium in Miami, ladies and gentlemen. The Minnesota Vikings and the Miami Dolphins have designated their inactive players for today's contest, so let's take a look at who will be sitting this one out, starting with the visiting team.

Minnesota Vikings

LB Anthony Barr
OT Carter Bykowski
S Ahmad Dixon
G Charlie Johnson
FB Zach Line
CB Shaun Prater
TE Kyle Rudolph

Gerald Hodges will get another start in place of Barr, Vladimir Ducasse will step in for Johnson at left guard, and Chase Ford Rhett Ellison will start in Rudolph's place. Also, Robert Blanton is active, but Andrew Sendejo will be starting next to Harrison Smith anyway.

In addition, for the first time all season, offensive lineman David Yankey is active for the Vikings.

And now, on to the home side.

Miami Dolphins

G Nate Garner
WR Matt Hazel
S Don Jones
WR Rishard Matthews

Linebackers Koa Misi and Jelani Jenkins, both of whom were on the injury list for the Dolphins, are active for this one.

And those are the inactive lists for this week's contest, ladies and gentlemen. The Open Thread for the first quarter of play will be popping up at 11 AM Central time in preparation for the 12 noon kickoff.
