Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell told the media on Friday that three players will be out on Sunday against the Houston Texans in outside linebacker Dallas Turner, wide receiver Jordan Addison and inside linebacker Ivan Pace Jr.
No major surprises here for the Vikings with the lone exception being Pace. He apparently suffered the ankle injury during Thursday's practice and it will cause him to miss Sunday's game. That's an unfortunate blow to the Vikings front seven who will already be without Turner.
The practice squad call-ups will be interesting. One of them will likely be tight end Robert Tonyan but will they look at linebacker or edge rusher for their second call up? Bo Richter, Andre Carter II and Dallas Gant are all likely choices. They could choose to elevate a defensive lineman in Jonah Williams instead of another edge rusher as well.
The good news for the Vikings is that Justin Jefferson has no injury designation and will play with his quad contusion on Sunday afternoon. The game kicks off at noon on Sunday.
