Minnesota Vikings at New England Patriots: Inactive lists for both teams

We are less than ninety minutes from kickoff in Foxborough, and the Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots have both released their inactive lists for today’s contest at Gillette Stadium. Let’s take a look at who will be sitting this one out for both teams, starting with the visiting side.

Minnesota Vikings

• WR Chad Beebe
• RB Mike Boone
• LB Devante Downs
• DT Jalyn Holmes
• C Brett Jones
• TE David Morgan
• QB Kyle Sloter

Both Stefon Diggs and Xavier Rhodes tested their injuries on the field in the pregame today, and they are both active for today’s contest. We’ll see how they fare on the slick track at Gillette Stadium. All five Vikings that were listed as “questionable” on Friday’s final injury report are active for this one.

And now, on to the home team.

New England Patriots

• TE Dwayne Allen
• CB Keion Crossen
• DL Keionta Davis
• CB Duke Dawson
• OL James Ferentz
• DE Derek Rivers
• DT Danny Shelton

No real surprises for the Patriots, who only declared one player as “Out” (Allen) before today’s game.

Those are the final injury reports for the Minnesota Vikings and the New England Patriots before today’s big game, folks. The Open Thread for the first quarter will be up at around 2:30 PM Central time.
