Minnesota Vikings at Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Inactive lists for both teams

We’re ninety minutes away from kickoff in Tampa between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and your Minnesota Vikings. Both teams have put their inactive lists out, so let’s see who will be sitting this one out for both sides.

We start, as always, with the visiting team.

Minnesota Vikings

• LB Eric Kendricks
• CB Dylan Mabin
• RB Alexander Mattison
• WR K.J. Osborn
• TE Kyle Rudolph
• OL Olisaemeka Udoh

With Rudolph officially being inactive for this one, his streak of consecutive starts ends at 93. Damn shame, that. On the plus side, Irv Smith Jr. is active today, which means that the Vikings have three tight ends available with Smith, Tyler Conklin, and Hale Hentges, who will make his Vikings’ debut today.

And now, on to the home side.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

• DL Khalil Davis
• CB Jamel Dean
• RB Leonard Fournette
• QB Ryan Griffin
• TE Tanner Hudson
• DL Jeremiah Ledbetter

Dean was the only player on Tampa’s injury report that had an injury designation, and with him being listed as “doubtful” it’s not surprising that he’ll be sitting this one out. No other surprises on the inactive list for the Buccaneers.

Those are your inactive lists for today’s big NFC matchup between the Vikings and the Buccaneers, folks. The Open Threads for today’s game will start rolling out at the usual time, 11:00 AM Central.
