As the Vikings get closer to their matchup with the 49ers on Sunday, Minnesota’s safety depth remains unsettled.
Minnesota ruled safeties Camryn Bynum and Josh Metellus questionable for the game in San Francisco. G Wyatt Davis is also questionable for Week 12.
DE Everson Griffen is out for the game.
A video of Griffen holding a gun appeared on his Instagram account, he came out of his home without incident on Wednesday, law enforcement told the Vikings. Earlier that day, Minnesota’s representatives and mental health professionals had been at Griffen’s home, cooperating with law enforcement. If you want to read more about the situation, you can here.
The Vikings will have to play on Sunday without Griffen, Danielle Hunter, and possibly other starters. The Vikings placed DT Dalvin Tomlinson, the starting three-technique defensive tackle, on the COVID-19/Reserve list. He still resided there as of Friday morning.
At 5-5, Minnesota will have to pull off an upset on the road against an also-streaking San Francisco team.
