EAGAN, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings are down to just two defensive ends ahead of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Second-year defensive end Tashawn Bower was ruled out Friday with an ankle injury, as were cornerbacks Trae Waynes (concussion) and Marcus Sherels (ribs).
The Vikings are also set to be without Pro Bowl defensive end Everson Griffen, who is dealing with mental health issues that caused him to miss the last two games.
Asked this week about Griffen's status, coach Mike Zimmer said he has received "no clarity" regarding when the veteran would return.
