WIth about 90 minutes until kickoff, the inactive lists for the Vikings and Chargers have been released. Let’s take a look at who’s going to sit this one out. First up, the Vikings:
RB Alexander Mattison
S Jayron Kearse
DT Hercules Mata’afa
G Dru Samia
T Oli Udoh
T Aviante Collins
DT Jalyn Holmes
Xavier Rhodes was questionable, but after some pregame stretching it looks like he’s going to play/not play. Same for Bisi Johnson, who was also questionable:

Rhodes playing is a big deal, not only because he’s a starter, but because Jayron kearse is also inactive. Both guys out could have been a challenge for the Vikes secondary against a pretty good Chargers passing game. And finally, as we all suspected, Adam Thielen will be active for the first time since the Kansas City game.
Next up, the Chargers:
QB Easton Stick
WR Jalen Guyton
S Desmond King
S Roderic Teamer
G Spencer Drango
T Trey Pipkins
DT Sylvester Williams
The inactives for the Chargers aren’t much of a surprise, and there’s no starter or impact player on the list.
Kickoff is in about an hour and 20 minutes.
