Vikings Depth Chart, Week 14 at Lions

The Minnesota Vikings are two-point underdogs on the road this weekend at the Detroit Lions. Minnesota sits atop the NFC North, with a “magic number” of one to close out the division. Detroit is 5-7 after impaling the Jacksonville Jaguars, 40-14, in Week 13. But the Lions have to win about four or five games to finish the season for a chance at the postseason.

The Lions have lost nine of their last 10 games versus the Vikings but notably defeated Minnesota at Ford Field in 2021.

The Vikings injury report is sketchy, as several players were absent from practice this week with an anonymous illness.

Here’s the depth chart for Week 14:
