Vikings RBs Cook and Mattison inactive, Mike Boone in line to start

As expected, the Vikings will be without running back Dalvin Cook (chest) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) on Monday night against the Packers.

Second-year running back Mike Boone will get the start and we’ll probably see plenty of Ameer Abdullah as well.

Boone ran for 56 yards and two touchdowns in relief duty last week against the Chargers.

Other than the running back position, the Vikings are relatively healthy. No other players are missing the game due to injury concerns.

Joining Cook and Mattison as inactives are defensive tackle Hercule Mata’afa, guard Dru Sami, tackle Oli Udoh, tackle Aviante Collins and defensive tackle Jalyn Holmes.
