EAGAN, Minn. — The Vikings did not practice this week in preparing for Week 17's Christmas Day home game against the Lions.
Minnesota instead held walk-throughs and estimated participation levels.
On Wednesday, the Vikings ruled out tight end T.J. Hockenson (shoulder), center Ryan Kelly (concussion), running back Jordan Mason (ankle) and quarterback J.J. McCarthy (right hand).
Minnesota listed right tackle Brian O'Neill (heel) as questionable.
Also listed as questionable was rookie tight end Gavin Bartholomew, who is on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list because of a back injury. Bartholomew is in his 21-day evaluation window.
Update: Bartholomew was downgraded to out Wednesday afternoon.
Kickoff between the Vikings (7-8) and the Lions (8-7) is set for 3:30 p.m. (CT) at U.S. Bank Stadium.
The game will be streamed internationally by Netflix and televised in the Twin Cities by WCCO.
