Center Garrett Bradbury has been ruled out as the Vikings take on the Eagles on a short week.
He played in just two series against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last Sunday.
A back injury forced Bradbury to leave the game; he did not come back.
Due to a back injury, Bradbury missed the final five games of the regular season the previous year as well.
Vikings getting ready for the Eagles on Thursday night.
The Minnesota Vikings continue to get ready for Thursday Night Football against the Philadelphia Eagles.
After practice on Tuesday, FOX 9’s Ahmad Hicks spoke with linebacker Najee Thompson live at the TCO Performance Center.
This indicates that Austin Schlottmann will start at center.
Christian Darrisaw, an offensive lineman, is listed as questionable with an ankle injury.
In the game against the Buccaneers, he missed a few plays but was still able to complete it.
Another player listed as questionable is Marcus Davenport (ankle).
Last Sunday, he worked out before the game but was unable to participate.
In order to play the edge rusher opposite Danielle Hunter, the Vikings signed Davenport in free agency.
The Vikings are trying to avoid going 0-2 because that would be a big blow to their chances of making it back to the NFC Playoffs.
