The Vikings already expected to be without Sam Bradford, Stefon Diggs and Nick Easton on Sunday. They'll be missing a fourth starter, too.

Safety Andrew Sendejo will miss Sunday's game with the groin injury that kept him out of two practices and limited him in a third last week. The Vikings will turn to Anthony Harris in relief of Sendejo, though cornerback Terence Newman — who started a game at safety in 2015 — could be there in a pinch.

Bradford will miss his fourth game of the season with a knee injury, while Diggs won't play because of a groin injury that kept him out of practice all week. The Vikings will start Michael Floyd at wide receiver for Diggs, while Jeremiah Sirles will play left guard with Easton out.

The Vikings will face a Packers team missing three key defensive backs, with Kevin King, Davon House and Morgan Burnett all out for Sunday's game. The Packers, though, will have both their starting tackles, with David Bakhtiari returning for Sunday's game and Bryan Bulaga active.

Here is the Vikings' full list of inactives:

  • QB Sam Bradford
    • WR Rodney Adams
      • WR Stefon Diggs
        • G Nick Easton
          • T Aviante Collins
            • DE Tashawn Bower
              • S Andrew Sendejo
