Minnesota Vikings at Philadelphia Eagles: Inactive Lists for both teams

We are just ninety minutes away from kickoff of the 2017 NFC Championship Game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Philadelphia Eagles from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. Both teams have put out their inactive lists for this big game, so let’s take a look at who will be sitting this one out for both sides. We start, as always, with the visiting team.

Minnesota Vikings

• DE Tashawn Bower
• QB Teddy Bridgewater
• RB Mack Brown
• C Cornelius Edison
• G Danny Isidora
• QB Kyle Sloter
• DT Shamar Stephen

This means that, like last week, Sam Bradford will serve as the primary backup to Case Keenum at quarterback. No other real surprises on here for the Vikings, as Stephen had been declared as being out on Friday’s injury report. Adam Thielen and Andrew Sendejo are both active and will start in this one.

And now, on to the home team.

Philadelphia Eagles

• OT Will Beatty
• LB Dannell Ellerbe
• WR Marcus Johnson
• CB Sidney Jones
• DE Steven Means
• DT Elijah Qualls
• RB Wendell Smallwood

The Eagles only had one player listed as questionable on their final injury report on Friday (and that was Ellerbe, who is inactive), so it appears they’re pretty much intact going into this one.

That’s a quick glance at the inactive lists for this afternoon’s game, ladies and gentlemen. We’ll have our Open Thread for the first quarter up and running at about 4:40 PM Central time.
