The Vikings listed starting defensive end Everson Griffen as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, but Griffen, who sat out the past two days, said he is playing and starting.
"I was sick," Griffen said. "I'm just getting better each and every day."
Griffen said he expects to play "a full-time role" against the Rams.
Fullback Zach Line (ankle) and outside linebackers Brandon Watts (knee) and Michael Mauti (foot) were officially ruled out for Sunday, which head coach Mike Zimmer had said yesterday was likely.
Offensive tackle Mike Harris, who was limited every practice this week with a shoulder injury, is questionable. Cornerback Jabari Price (shoulder) and wide-out Rodney Smith (neck) are probable.
Nose tackle Linval Joseph (calf) is expected to start after practicing fully every day this week.
