The Minnesota Vikings looked really healthy going into Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints. After having six players on the injury report early in the week, they only ended up with two in the final report on Friday.
For the Saints, things were a lot more murky with Michael Thomas, Andrus Peat and Jameis Winston having been declared out for the game. Things got worse on Sunday morning with Alvin Kamara also being declared out.
The Vikings didn’t see any major changes on their inactive list as Za’Darius Smith will play as expected.

The biggest news on this inactive list is that running back Ty Chandler. After being inactive for the first three games, Chandler will make his NFL debut against the Saints. Booth Jr. will miss his third-consecutive game and the other four inactives make the list for the fourth-straight week.
Luckily for the Vikings, the Saints inactive list is an all-star cast and should make for an easier game.
