Vikings 53-man roster, elevation-eligible players vs Bears in Week 12

USA TODAY Sports Matt Krohn Vikings Jeffrey Becker David Berding Brad Rempel Bruce Kluckhohn Christopher Mast Kirby Lee Peter van den Berg

The Minnesota Vikings had some changes on the roster after a 21-20 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday night.

Defensive end Dean Lowry injured his pectoral muscle which needed surgery and was placed on injured reserve. They also lost outside linebacker Benton Whitley to the New York Giants, who signed him to the active roster off of the Vikings practice squad.

That wasn’t all. The Vikings also activated Chris Reed to the active roster after he was on the NFI list since the start of training camp with a foot injury. Nose tackle Sheldon Day was brought up from the practice squad to join the active roster while wide receiver Trishton Jackson was sent back down to the practice squad.

Heading into Monday night’s game, here is the updated 53-man roster, including potential elevations to the active roster.
