The Vikings have lost two members of their starting offensive line for the season and they’ll be without a third against the Lions this Sunday.
Left guard Alex Boone has been ruled out of the game due to the concussion he suffered in last Monday night’s loss to the Bears. Boone, who signed with the Vikings this offseason, has started all seven games for the Vikings this season. Jeremiah Sirles replaced Boone against Chicago and will likely get the start in his place this weekend.
The Vikings will also be without linebacker Eric Kendricks this week because of a concussion. It will also be the first game that Kendricks, who played every snap against the Bears, has missed this season.
Running back Jerick McKinnon is questionable after missing last Sunday’s game with an ankle injury. He said Friday, via Matt Vensel of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, that he expects to play against Detroit.
