The Minnesota Vikings will be without at least three players Sunday due to injury, and possibly three others.
Ahead of Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions, the Vikings announced running back Dalvin Cook, offensive tackle Christian Darrisaw and safety Camryn Bynum won’t play due to injury.
Additionally, cornerback Mackensie Alexander and linebackers Anthony Barr and Eric Kendricks are questionable to play.
The Vikings will also have a short week next week, as the team will host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday.
Minnesota is 5-6 going into Sunday’s game against the 0-10-1 Lions and remains on the bubble for a playoff spot.
