Vikings defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd (knee) and running back Matt Asiata (concussion) will be inactive against the Packers on Sunday at TCF Bank Stadium.
Floyd banged knees with a teammate in Wednesday's practice and did not practice Thursday or Friday. He had crutches by his locker Thursday and Friday. It's the first game Floyd will miss in his career. Rookie defensive tackle Shamar Stephen will receive his first carrer start in place of Floyd at the three-technique spot.
Running back Ben Tate is active for the Vikings and expected to have a role only four days after the team claimed him off waivers from the Browns. Asiata did not practice all week as he went through the league's concussion protocol. Joe Banyard is also active at running back.
Vikings wide receivers Greg Jennings (rib) and Jarius Wright (hamstring) are both active. They were both listed as questionable on Friday.
