Update: Defensive end Everson Griffen and linebacker Jasper Brinkley were fined for plays in last Sunday's loss to the Packers in Green Bay. Griffen was fined $15,750 for roughing Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers on Sunday. Brinkley was fined $7,875 for a facemask of receiver Randall Cobb. Brinkley wasn't flagged on the play.
The only other fine from the game came to Green Bay's Tramon Williams, fined $21,000 for unnecessary roughness on a helmet-to-helmet hit on a deep pass to running back Toby Gerhart.
Griffen was flagged for roughing Rodgers on a second-quarter play that nullified an interception by teammate Jared Allen. Williams hit Toby Gerhart helmet-to-helmet on a third quarter pass by Christian Ponder. On the next play, with the Vikings trailing 20-14, Ponder threw an interception from the Packers' 25.
Update II: The Vikings have promoted offensive tackle Troy Kropog from the practice squad to the 53-man roster. He takes the roster spot that opened when Percy Harvin was placed on injured reserve on Wednesday.
