It's game day in Charlotte and the official inactive reports have been released by the Minnesota Vikings and Carolina Panthers. 

For the Vikings, the good news is that outside linebacker Marcus Davenport is active. He has played just four snaps because of an ankle injury this season, but this is a good indication that he'll start opposite of Danielle Hunter. 

But starting center Garrett Bradbury is inactive for a third straight game after injuring his back during the first quarter of Minnesota's season opener against the Giants. That means Austin Schlottmann will likely start. 

Dalton Risner is active, meaning there's a good chance he slides in at right guard in place of Ed Ingram, who could be looking at a day on the bench. Risner was signed last week and was inactive while learning the playbook. 

For the Panthers, starting safety Xavier Woods (hamstring) will not play. They'll also be without rookie wide receiver Jonathan Mingo (concussion). Linebacker Frankie Luvu is active, as is top running back Miles Sanders (groin). 

Kickoff between the Vikings and Panthers is at 12 p.m. CT.
