Unfortunately, the Vikings’ depth chart will be missing some notable names. Kevin O’Connell will thus be working with a somewhat limited roster as he tries to push his NFC North record to 4-2 before the end of the season. Overall, the win would push Minnesota to 13-4.

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.

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. The team has 5 players included on their injury report leading into the game. Keep reading to see who has already been ruled out and who is questionable.
