The Minnesota Vikings and Atlanta Falcons are set for a battle on Sunday afternoon. Both teams are entering the game 4-4 and firmly in the mix in their respective divisions.
For the Vikings, this will be the first game without star QB Kirk Cousins.
Atlanta Falcons:
WR Drake London
QB Logan Woodside
S DeMarcco Hellams
FB Keith Smith
OL Jovaughn Gwyn
DL Travis Bell
DL Joe Gaziano
The most notable name here is obviously London. The star receiver is out due to a groin injury.
Safety DeMarcco Hellams is also out due to a hamstring injury and fullback Keith Smith will miss the game due to a concussion.
Bell, Gaziano, Gwyn, and Woodside are depth piece.
Minnesota Vikings:
The Vikings are also down a couple of starters: defensive lineman Dean Lowry and tackle Christian Darrisaw.
With Darrisaw out, veteran David Quessenberry will likely get the start. On the defensive line, expect to see more of Khyiris Tonga in place of Lowry.
The other inactives are S Lewis Cine, LB Brian Asamoah II, TE Nick Muse, RB Kene Nwangwu, and WR Jalen Nailor. Guard Chris Reed will be active after having his 21-day window opened.
Missing Darrisaw could be huge for the Vikes, especially with a rookie QB making his first start.
