A recent report revealed that 12 of the current 53 players on the Minnesota Vikings active roster are unvaccinated or still have not received a full dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

A week from today, the Minnesota Vikings will be looking to open up the regular season with a 1-0 record by defeating Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals.

Except for tight end Irv Smith Jr. and rookie left tackle Christian Darrisaw, the majority of the Vikings‘ projected 2021 starters are expected to be on the field for the matchup against the Bengals.
