In this story:


The Vikings will get their star left tackle back for Sunday's high-stakes game against the Chargers. Christian Darrisaw, who missed last Thursday's loss in Philadelphia with an ankle injury, is not listed on the final injury report and will start this weekend. That's big for the Vikings as they prepare to face Chargers edge rushers Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack.

Vikings outside linebacker Marcus Davenport (ankle) is out for this game. He missed the opener and played just four snaps against the Eagles before sitting out the remainder of the evening. The hope is he'll be able to return to practice next week to have a chance at playing against the Panthers in Week 4, but that seems to be very much up in the air at this point.

Starting center Garrett Bradbury (back) is listed as questionable. He was able to practice in a limited capacity on Thursday and Friday. Bradbury suffered the injury very early into the Week 1 loss against the Buccaneers. He'll test things out in pregame warmups on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium. If he can't play, Austin Schlottmann would get another start.

No one else is listed on the injury report for the Vikings. Oli Udoh and Jalen Nailor went on IR this week, creating roster spots for new acquisitions Dalton Risner and Cam Akers. Akers is unlikely to play on Sunday, Kevin O'Connell said. Risner seems like a maybe.

For the Chargers, star running back Austin Ekeler has not practiced this week, putting his status in question for this game. Bosa and ex-Vikings linebacker Eric Kendricks are also dealing with injuries.

Update: Ekeler and Kendricks are OUT for the Chargers this week. Bosa is questionable.
