EAGAN, Minn. — The Vikings on Friday ruled out tight ends T.J. Hockenson (shoulder) and Gavin Bartholomew (back), as well as running back Aaron Jones, Sr. (hip), and receiver/returner Myles Price (ankle) for Sunday's 131st overall Border Battle and season finale against the Green Bay Packers (9-6-1).
Minnesota listed cornerback Dwight McGlothern as questionable for the noon (CT) kickoff.
Head Coach Kevin O'Connell announced quarterback J.J. McCarthy (hand) will make his 10th career start after missing the Christmas Day game with a hairline fracture in his throwing hand that he sustained in Week 16 at the Giants. McCarthy is 5-4 as a starter this season and went 3-0 under center in December.
Everyone else on this week's injury report is expected to be available.
