EAGAN, Minn. -- The Vikings have ruled out three prominent players, including left tackle Christian Darrisaw, for Sunday night's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Minnesota will also be without linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel and cornerback Jeff Okudah, who are working their way through the NFL's concussion protocol.
Darrisaw's situation is unusual. A week ago, the Vikings listed him as questionable for their regular-season opener at the Chicago Bears, meaning his chances to play were 50%. Darrisaw went through a pregame workout at Soldier Field before the team declared him inactive.
