Vikings List of Inactives vs. Chargers
The Minnesota Vikings have listed their inactive players ahead of their late afternoon matchup in LA vs. the Chargers. After they moved Michael Pierce to the IR on Saturday, it is a bit of a shorter list of names, with just three players being carried. The three players are QB Kellen Mond, WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette, and LB Anthony Barr.
The player that is noticeably absent from this list is CB Bashaud Breeland. He went into the weekend listed as questionable after sustaining an injury in Baltimore. However, it appears that the veteran will be a go in Los Angeles, which is huge against a Chargers pass attack led by Justin Herbert.
Equally as impactful, the Chargers may find themselves going Austin Ekeler’s way early and often with Anthony Barr sitting out. Blake Lynch will likely see an expanded role in his absence, and his ability to limit Ekeler, not only in the run but also as a receiver in the flats, will be a key part of the Vikings success on the defensive side of the ball.
