The Vikings depth chart is looking healthier. Coming off a mini-bye, Minnesota has the chance to keep pursuing the conference’s #1 spot. Kevin O’Connell will be looking to concoct a game plan that effectively stifles Robert Saleh’s talented defense.
The players, of course, are most important when it comes to whether a game is won or lost. As a result, I’m offering up this depth chart to give fans a refresher. At times, it differs from the one on the team’s website, so be aware that there are some differences.
Finally, keep in mind that practice squad players aren’t included since this piece only covers the 53-man roster. Players with an injury designation find their names in italics. Akayleb Evans and Dalvin Tomlinson are both back for Minnesota. Christian Darrisaw is out, and so is tight end Ben Ellefson.
