Safety Lewis Cine, the 32nd overall pick this spring, will play against the Eagles after dealing with a knee contusion that kept him out of the season opener. He'll have a "significant" role on special teams and could come off the bench as a substitute on defense, according to Vikings coaches.
The Vikings' second draft pick this year — cornerback Andrew Booth Jr. — won't play because of a quad injury suffered against the Packers. Cornerback Duke Shelley was elevated from the practice squad and will be available against the Eagles.
