The Vikings' inactive list has just been released at FedEx Field and as expected cornerback Asher Allen and Steve Hutchinson are on it, both sidelined by concussions they suffered last Sunday against New Orleans. Also inactive for the Vikings today: cornerback Chris Cook, defensive end D'Aundre Reed, offensive lineman DeMarcus Love, linebacker Xavier Adibi and tight end Allen Reisner.

Hutchinson will be replaced in the starting lineup by Joe Berger with rookie Brandon Fusco also available to see time at left guard. It remains to be seen how the Vikings will handle Allen's absence. Rookie Brandon Burton may see significant time in Allen's place. Benny Sapp will start at one cornerback position. Marcus Sherels will see time in nickel packages. And Cedric Griffin may be needed to some extent as well.

The Redskins, meanwhile, will be without running back Roy Helu, who is battling knee and toe injuries. Other inactives for Washington today are Markus White, Erik Cook, Rob Myers, Kentwan Balmer, David Anderson and Doug Worthington.
