New York Jets at Minnesota Vikings: Inactive Lists For Both Teams

With ninety minutes remaining until kickoff at TCF Bank Stadium, the Minnesota Vikings and New York Jets have released their inactive lists for this afternoon's contest. Let's see who will be sitting this one out for both teams, starting with the visitors.

New York Jets

TE Jace Amaro
G Dakota Dozier
C Wesley Johnson
WR Walter Powell
QB Matt Simms
CB Josh Thomas
DT Muhammad Wilkerson

No surprises on the list for the Jets, as far as I can see.

And now, on to the home team.

Minnesota Vikings

LB Anthony Barr
DE Scott Crichton
FB Zach Line
CB Jabari Price
LB Brandon Watts
OT J'Marcus Webb
G David Yankey

With Jerick McKinnon having officially been placed on injured reserve yesterday, the Vikings didn't have to put him on the inactive list for today's contest. As we've said throughout the week, Charles Johnson has taken Cordarrelle Patterson's spot at split end. Matt Asiata will get the start at running back in McKinnon's place, while Gerald Hodges will replace Anthony Barr at linebacker. Defensive end Justin Trattou, brought up from the practice squad after McKinnon was placed on IR, is active ahead of Crichton.

And those are the inactive lists for this afternoon's game, ladies and gentlemen. The Open Thread for the first quarter will be popping up at 11 AM Central, as it usually does, and we hope that you'll be joining us for that.
