Going into Saturday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Minnesota Vikings are dealing with injuries on both sides of the ball, but the offense has been hindered more. They will be without starters running back Alexander Mattison and right tackle Brian O’Neill with wide receiver Jalen Nailor also missing the game.
On Friday afternoon, the Vikings elevated wide receiver Trishton Jackson and running back Myles Gaskin from the practice squad.
Jackson has played in six games for the Vikings this season with two catches for nine yards including a two-point conversion.
Gaskin has played in just two games this season: week two with the Vikings and week eight with the Los Angeles Rams. He hasn’t recorded a touch on the season.
The Vikings and Bengals will kick off at noon Central on Saturday.
