Vikings rule out 6 players for Week 18 vs. Lions

The Minnesota Vikings are trying to keep their unlikely playoff hopes alive in Ford Field in Week 18. The Vikings will have to try and pull it off in Detroit without several injured players. Detroit’s finale foe ruled out six players due to injury.

One of the most notable is right tackle Brian O’Neill, who has been hobbled with an ankle injury. O’Neill also missed the Week 16 matchup between the two NFC North rivals. He’s not the only offensive lineman who isn’t 100 percent.

Left tackle Christian Darrisaw is questionable with an illness, while starting right guard Ed Ingram is questionable with a shoulder. Ingram played well in the Week 16 meeting.

The Vikings final injury report:
