Kendricks, Munnerlyn Active for Cardinals Game

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. –Captain Munnerlyn and Eric Kendricks are both listed as "active" for today's game against the Cardinals.

Munnerlyn last week missed his first matchup, ending his streak of 72 straight games, because of an ankle injury. Kendricks left the game at Washington early after suffering a hip injury.

So far this season, Kendricks has recorded 59 tackles (42 solo), eight passes broken up, two tackles for loss and an interception that he returned 77 yards for a touchdown in Week 1. As a rookie in 2015, Kendricks had six tackles in Minnesota's 23-20 loss at Arizona.

Munnerlyn has recorded 31 tackles (22 solo), two passes broken up and two tackles for loss over eight games played.

Munnerlyn told Twin Cities media members Thursday that it was extremely frustrating to miss a game and said it was his goal to be back in the lineup today.

"It kind of hurt not being out there. I wasn't able to travel with the team and do different things with the guys," Munnerlyn said. "But at the same time, I can't control injuries. I try to go out there and play fast and physical but I had to miss a game. Hopefully I'm back this week and flying around and making plays."

In five career games against the Cardinals, Munnerlyn has 26 tackles.

Terence Newman stepped in for Munnerlyn at the nickel back position against the Redskins, and Munnerlyn's return will allow Newman to slide back to the outside corner position. Cornerback Xavier Rhodes is also active after being in concussion protocol during the week.

Players inactive for the Vikings are: quarterback Taylor Heinicke, wide receiver Jarius Wright, linebacker Edmond Robinson, guard Zac Kerin, tackle Rashod Hill, defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd and tight end David Morgan.
