Safety Harrison Smith (ankle) and receiver Stefon Diggs (hip) are questionable to play after being listed as full participants during Friday's team activities.

Guard Brandon Fusco (concussion), fullback Zach Line (concussion) and receiver Laquon Treadwell (ankle) have also been ruled out for the Vikings.
