Vikings Depth Chart Ahead of Week 3 vs. Lions
Vikings Depth Chart Ahead of Week 3 vs. Lions
The Minnesota Vikings are six-point favorites at home versus the Detroit Lions this weekend. Both teams are 1-1, with sights set on the postseason. The winner of the Week 3 matchup will pivot toward an early true-blue path toward the playoffs, while the loser begins to accept mediocrity as 2022 fate.
The Vikings injury report is lite, involving three names — safety Harrison Smith (concussion) and cornerback Andrew Booth (quad). They were both ruled out on Friday afternoon. Eric Kendricks is questionable with a toe injury but is expected to play.
