We're right around ninety minutes away from kickoff at TCF Bank Stadium, ladies and gentlemen, and both the Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers have released their lists of inactive players for today's game. Let's see who will be sitting this one out, starting with the visiting team.
Green Bay Packers
WR Jared Abbrederis
CB Ladarius Gunter
RB Alonzo Harris
QB Brett Hundley
LB Andy Mulumba
WR Ty Montgomery
G Lane Taylor
All of the Packers' starting offensive linemen are active for this one. In addition, cornerback Damarious Randall, who the Packers added to the injury report yesterday afternoon, is active for Green Bay.
And now, on to the home team.
Minnesota Vikings
C Nick Easton
DT Kenrick Ellis
QB Taylor Heinicke
LB Edmond Robinson
CB Josh Robinson
OL Jeremiah Sirles
DE Justin Trattou
Even though Trattou appears to be healthy again, he is out in favor of rookie Danielle Hunter, who has really done a nice job over the past few weeks. Eric Kendricks is back to starting at middle linebacker for the Vikings, and Anthony Barr will start as well. Matt Kalil, who had been listed as questionable with a toe issue, is active and will also start. No other real surprises for the Vikings as it stands right now.
And those are the inactive lists for both teams, folks. Thanks to technical difficulties, the Open Thread for the first quarter is already up and running. You can check it out right here.
