J.J. McCarthy has no injury designation, but Christian Darrisaw, Brian O'Neill are questionable

J.J. McCarthy will play in Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions with no injury designation, marking his return to the starting lineup for the Minnesota Vikings for the first time since Week 2. He has been limited in practice this week due to an ankle injury. The Vikings have ruled out tight end Josh Oliver (foot), fullback C.J. Ham (hand), and cornerback Jeff Okudah (concussion). Dwight McGlothern is expected to replace Okudah, while Ben Yurosek and Ben Sims may fill in for Oliver. Players listed as questionable include outside linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel (neck), left tackle Christian Darrisaw (knee), right tackle Brian O’Neill (knee), and safety Josh Metellus (foot). Coach Kevin O’Connell indicated that Van Ginkel is likely to return after missing four games. Justin Skule and Walter Rouse are the backup tackles for Minnesota.
