Vikings Depth Chart Ahead of Week 17 at Packers

The Minnesota Vikings are 13-point underdogs on the road at the Green Bay Packers this weekend.
The Vikings must win their final two games and get help from the Philadelphia Eagles and New Orleans Saint to reach the postseason. Losing to Green Bay would send Minnesota to microscopic 3% playoff chances.
Also, here is the injury report — Kirk Cousins is out on COVID reserve. Cameron Dantzler is doubtful. Michael Pierce, Chazz Surratt, and Tyler Conklin are questionable.
In addition, the Vikings will notably be without the services of Adam Thielen, Danielle Hunter, Everson Griffen, Mason Cole, Patrick Jones II (COVID), Nick Vigil (COVID), and Irv Smith Jr.
