Left guard Alex Boone practiced for a second straight day today and the Vikings did not declare a game-day status for him on the final injury report, so he will be available to play Monday night and is expected to start.

Boone, who injured his hip in the win over the Panthers, was listed as a full participant today after being limited Friday. If he experiences a setback before Monday night, Jeremiah Sirles would likely replace him.

Fullback Zach Line (knee) also got in a second straight practice today and was given no game-day status either, so he will play Monday night.

Tight end David Morgan (knee) missed practice again and was officially ruled out. Defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd (knee) was also ruled out.

Safety Jayron Kearse did not practice today. The team listed his injury as "tooth" on the report. But he will be available to play Monday night.
