Vikings' Brian O'Neill, Alexander Mattison out vs. Bengals; Jaren Hall will be backup QB

No Vikings player has been on the field for a larger percentage of the team's offensive snaps this season than Brian O'Neill. The right tackle won't be available to the Vikings on Saturday, though.

The Vikings ruled O'Neill out for Saturday's game in Cincinnati, after he missed his third consecutive day of practice on Thursday because of the sprained left ankle he sustained on Sunday in Las Vegas.

Before he was injured on Sunday, O'Neill had played every offensive snap for the Vikings this season, returning from the avulsion fracture he sustained in his right ankle on Jan.
