The Vikings, who just became the first team to lose to the Detroit Lions this season, have ruled out more than one injured player, and have listed a few on questionable. Receiver Adam Thielen and tackle Christian Darrisaw were ruled out on Wednesday due to ankle injuries, while running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder), safety Camryn Bynum (ankle) and linebacker Blake Lynch (hip) were listed as questionable.
On the other hand, the AFC North team, the Steelers (6-5-1), are coming off an unexpected 20-19 win against the Baltimore Ravens, beating their divisional rival. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral/right shoulder) is expected to play, and so are receiver Chase Claypool (toe), guard Trai Turner and defensive tackle Cameron Heyward.
This game will prove crucial in determining whether each team can emerge in their Wild Card race, especially for the Steelers who have a better chance to grind out a tough divisional race and make the playoffs.
