The Vikings will be without the services of offensive guard Ezra Cleveland, tight end Irv Smith, Jr, and defensive end Jordan Brailford. The Vikings also expect to be without receiver Adam Thielen today as he remains on the teams COVID-19 reserve list.

For the Panthers, offensive guard Dennis Daley, cornerback Donte Jackson, running back Christian McCaffery are all 'out' for today's game. Offensive guard John Miller, offensive tackle Russell Okung, safety Sam Franklin, defensive end Marquis Haynes, linebacker Tahir Whitehead, and receiver Brandon Zylstra are all listed as 'questionable.'

The Vikings are 3½ point favorites against the Panthers today.
