The Vikings will be without several key players for the regular season finale Sunday against the Detroit Lions.

Starting right tackle Brian O'Neill has been ruled out due to ankle injury he aggravated in the team's loss to the Packers.

Two of the three top corners will be out, with Byron Murphy Jr. set to miss his third straight game due to a knee injury and rookie Mekhi Blackmon missing with a shoulder injury.

Second-year corner Andrew Booth Jr. is expected to get the bulk of the snaps alongside Akayleb Evans.

Jalen Nailor (concussion), safety Theo Jackson (toe) and defensive lineman Jaquelin Roy (ankle) are all out for the trip to Detroit.

Needing a win, and other results, to make the playoffs the Vikings could be without three of their starting lineman as left tackle Christian Darrisaw (illness) and guard Ed Ingram (shoulder) are both listed as questionable for Sunday's game.

Darrisaw missed Thursday's practice and was limited Friday. Ingram has been a limited participant throughout the week.
