On Sunday afternoon, Minnesota will be looking to defend U.S. Bank Stadium. Does the Vikings’ depth chart see a boost in talent for the game? Put differently, is the roster getting healthier?

Earlier in the week, there were some positive developments for the team’s health. Consider, for instance, Friday’s injury report. CB4 Fabian Moreau was ruled out of the game and LB2 Ivan Pace Jr. listed as questionable, but that means DT3 Jalen Redmond and S1 Harrison Smith are back. Overall, a positive update even if the desire is always to be 100% healthy.

Green Bay is a rock-solid football team. Matt LaFleur has proven to be one of the NFL’s best head coaches. Jordan Love is a legit QB1, Josh Jacobs is an excellent runner, and the Packers’ defense has been playing better than in a lot of recent seasons. Add it all up and Minnesota will have their hands full.

Kickoff for the game will be taking place today at 3:25 p.m. CT.
