EAGAN, Minn. — It’s not inaccurate this week to designate the Vikings as walking wounded as Minnesota prepares to host the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3.
Kickoff is noon (CT) at U.S. Bank Stadium.
After falling to 1-1 on the young season after a Sunday night loss to Atlanta, Minnesota opted to wear pads Wednesday. The practice week is scheduled to include sessions on Thursday and Friday, the latter of which will be followed by game designations for players.
More than 20 percent of the players on Minnesota’s 53-man roster are listed on the injury report for Week 3.
