We\u2019re about ninety minutes away from kickoff at U.S. Bank Stadium, and both the Minnesota Vikings and Cincinnati Bengals have released their inactive lists for today\u2019s contest. Let\u2019s take a look at who will be sitting this one out for both sides.<\/p>\n
Cincinnati Bengals<\/p>\n

Obviously, the Bengals are without star quarterback Joe Burrow for this one, with Jake Browning getting the start in his place. Stewart and Taylor-Britt were expected to be out based on the Bengals\u2019 final injury report. No other real surprises on the list for the Bengals as far as I can see.<\/p>\n
Minnesota Vikings<\/p>\n
QB Desmond Ridder (emergency QB)<\/p>\n
The Vikings, as we know, are also without their starter at quarterback, as Carson Wentz will step in today for the injured J.J. McCarthy. The purple should get a bit of a boost from the returns of offensive tackle Christian Darrisaw and safety Harrison Smith, who are both up today after missing the first two games. Andrew Van Ginkel is also back after missing the Atlanta game due to a concussion.<\/p>\n
Those are the inactive lists for today\u2019s game, folks. We\u2019ll have our first Open Thread of the day dropping approximately thirty minutes before kickoff at 11:30 AM Central time, and we hope you\u2019ll join us for this critical game for our favorite team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We\u2019re about ninety minutes away from kickoff at U.S. Bank Stadium, and both the Minnesota Vikings and Cincinnati…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":385794,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2073],"tags":[6512,223,6358,1763,1508,256,10206,7,21433,1519,19907,14705,1577,23991,233,259,2529,6,34211,1496,29993,234],"class_list":{"0":"post-385793","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-minnesota-vikings","8":"tag-andrew-van-ginkel","9":"tag-atlanta","10":"tag-cam-taylor-britt","11":"tag-carson-wentz","12":"tag-christian-darrisaw","13":"tag-cincinnati-bengals","14":"tag-desmond-ridder","15":"tag-football","16":"tag-harrison-smith","17":"tag-j-j-mccarthy","18":"tag-jake-browning","19":"tag-jermaine-burton","20":"tag-joe-burrow","21":"tag-justin-skule","22":"tag-minnesota","23":"tag-minnesota-vikings","24":"tag-minnesotavikings","25":"tag-nfl","26":"tag-nick-vannett","27":"tag-shemar-stewart","28":"tag-tanner-hudson","29":"tag-vikings"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115243171535359785","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385793","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=385793"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385793\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/385794"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=385793"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=385793"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=385793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
