St. Louis Rams at Minnesota Vikings: Inactive Lists for Both Teams

We've got a little less than an hour and a half before kickoff at TCF Bank Stadium, ladies and gentlemen. Both the Minnesota Vikings and the St. Louis Rams have released their inactive lists for today's game, so let's see who will be sitting this one out for both teams.

St. Louis Rams

OT Rob Havenstein
DE Chris Long
QB Sean Mannion
S T.J. McDonald
DE Robert Quinn
RB Chase Reynolds
DT Doug Worthington

Long and Quinn both being on the shelf is a big blow to the Rams' front seven. Long is missing his third consecutive game, but Quinn's status was up in the air until just before the inactive lists came out. McDonald being out creates a significant hole in the St. Louis secondary as well. All in all, a pretty ugly injury picture for the visitors.

And now, on to the home team.

Minnesota Vikings

C Nick Easton
DT Sharrif Floyd
TE Chase Ford
QB Taylor Heinicke
LB Eric Kendricks
G Jeremiah Sirles
DE Justin Trattou

Tom Johnson will, once again, start at defensive tackle for Floyd next to Linval Joseph. Audie Cole will plug into Kendricks' spot in the middle, though I don't know who the Vikings will play in nickel situations. Anthony Barr, who was listed as questionable with a low back injury, is active and will start. No other surprises on the inactive list for the Vikings.

And those are the inactive lists for the Minnesota Vikings and the St. Louis Rams for this afternoon's contest. We'll have the Open Thread up and running for you at 11:00 AM Central time.
