The Carolina Panthers and the Minnesota Vikings will kick off their Week 12 matchup in about an hour and a half.
Here is the full list of Carolina players who won’t be available for today’s game.
RB Christian McCaffrey
CB Donte Jackson
G Dennis Daley
OT Greg Little
S Sam Franklin
QB Will Grier
McCaffrey is missing his third-straight game with an AC joint problem in his shoulder. Meanwhile, Jackson is still dealing with the toe injury he suffered Week 1. Both will likely return after the bye week.
As for the offensive linemen, Daley is in the concussion protocol after a head injury against the Lions. Starting left tackle Russell Okung was listed as questionable but he’s returning to the lineup for the first time since Week 7. Greg Little is apparently a healthy scratch.
Here is the inactives list for Minnesota.
WR K.J. Osborn
S Curtis Riley
CB Dylan Mabin
LS Austin Cutting
G Ezra Cleveland
TE Irv Smith Jr.
DE Jordan Brailford
He’s not listed here, but wide receiver Adam Thielen is also out due to being on his team’s reserve/COVID-19 list, which is a huge blow for the Vikings’ offense. He leads the NFL with 11 touchdown catches this season.
