The New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings will kick off on Friday night, but some players on both sides will be held out from the preseason game. Whether it’s from preexisting injuries or an abundance of caution — this is an exhibition game, basically nothing more than an glorified scrimmage — both sides figure to rest their most-important players. Here’s who won’t be suiting up. The NFL does not require teams to post an official list of inactives or injury report, so we’re going off of reports from who’s dressed for the game.
