The Vikings are coming off a tough loss vs. the Bengals in Week 1, and they have a tough matchup vs. the Cardinals in Week 2. Unfortunately, there’s a chance their defense will be operating at less than 100%. Everson Griffen was sidelined at Thursday’s practice with a concussion, while Eric Kendricks and Anthony Barr were sidelined with leg ailments. If they’re out again on Friday, it’s unlikely that they’ll be able to suit up on Sunday.
Their absences would be felt against a Cardinals’ offense that appears poised for a big season. It’s only been one game, but it seems as though Kliff Kingsbury’s spread offense has finally been optimized.
