EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings won't have guard Alex Boone and linebacker Eric Kendricks in their lineup on Sunday against the Detroit Lions.
Both Boone and Kendricks were ruled out for the game on Friday with concussions they sustained against the Chicago Bears on Monday night. The Vikings appeared to be preparing Jeremiah Sirles to start at left guard after Sirles filled in for Boone on Monday night, while Audie Cole probably will start at middle linebacker and Chad Greenway will take Kendricks' spot in the nickel.
