Vikings S Harrison Smith is inactive for today's game against the Seahawks with a foot injury. Theo Jackson looks like the next man up among safeties, but he's not a strong bet for full playing time.

Vikings Edge Andrew Van Ginkel and DT Harrison Phillips are active for today's game against the Falcons and ready to normal IDP use. Edge Patrick Jones II is inactive. All three entered the day questionable.

Vikings Edge Andrew Van Ginkel is questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, but he seems likely to play. Van Ginkel put in limited practices all week because of a thigh issue. And according to Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune, HC Kevin O'Connell "seemed optimistic about most of the questionable players being able to go."

Vikings LBs Blake Cashman and Ivan Pace Jr. are both active for today's game against the Jaguars. It'll be Cashman's first action since Week 5, after he went inactive for the past three games. Pace played no more than 69% of snaps in any of the three games he shared with Cashman earlier this year but saw full playing time in the three contests Cashman missed. That leaves some uncertainty on the snap outlooks for both players today. I have them projected for even playing time against a Jaguars offense that could easily support full-time work for two LBs today.
