The Minnesota Vikings were semi-shorthanded in the season opening win over the Chicago Bears, and things are going to be even more dire this weekend.

The team plays host to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football this weekend, and will be without at least three starters.

Left Tackle Christian Darrisaw and Edge Rusher Andrew Van Ginkel are the latest players listed as out for Sunday by the team.
