Division games are tricky. Even still, this one ought to be a win. The Vikings have the chance to get to 4-1 and 3-0 in the NFC North with a win over the rebuilding Chicago Bears. Kevin O’Connell will be looking to ensure his side plays up to its potential.

The players, of course, are most important when it comes to whether a game is won or lost. As a result, I’m offering up this depth chart to give fans a refresher. At times, it differs from the one on the team’s website, so be aware that there are some differences of opinion.

Finally, keep in mind that practice squad players aren’t included since this piece only covers the 53-man roster. Players with an injury designation find their names in italics.
