Minnesota Vikings at Atlanta Falcons: Inactive lists for both teams

We’re a little less than ninety minutes away from kickoff in Atlanta, and the Atlanta Falcons and your Minnesota Vikings have released their inactive lists for today’s game. Let’s take a look and see who will be sitting this one out.

Minnesota Vikings

• LB Brian Asamoah II
• S Lewis Cine
• OT Christian Darrisaw
• DL Dean Lowry
• TE Nick Muse
• WR Jalen Nailor
• RB Kene Nwangwu

The big one here is Darrisaw, obviously. He was downgraded yesterday and now won’t even suit up for this one. We’ll definitely have to keep track of his status for next week’s game against New Orleans at U.S. Bank Stadium. It sounds like David Quessenberry will get the start at left tackle, though Blake Brandel would have to be a possibility as well. But there’s no Justin Jefferson, no Kirk Cousins, and now no Christian Darrisaw for the Vikings today.

Atlanta Falcons

• DL Travis Bell
• DL Joe Gaziano
• OL Jovaughn Gwyn
• S Demarco Hellams
• WR Drake London
• FB Keith Smith
• QB Keith Woodside (emergency QB)

Woodside will serve as the emergency QB for the Falcons behind Taylor Heinicke and Desmond Ridder. Hellams, London, and Smith were all declared out on the Falcons’ final injury report of the week.

Those are your inactive lists for this week’s game, ladies and gentlemen. We’ll have our first Open Thread of the day dropping at 11:00 AM Central, and we hope that you’ll join us for it.
