DUBLIN (FOX 9) - The Minnesota Vikings will be missing two key starters on Sunday as they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Dublin.
Jackson, Van Ginkel out
Why you should care:
Linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel is out with a neck injury and offensive lineman Donovan Jackson is also out with a wrist injury. As expected, quarterback J.J. McCarthy has also been ruled out for Sunday's game after injuring his ankle.
On a positive note, the Vikings will welcome back center Ryan Kelly, who missed the game last week due to a concussion. Safety Harrison Smith, defensive linemen Javon Hargrave and tackle Christian Darrisaw are also all set to play on Sunday.
Only one Steeler is named on the injury report as "out" for the game. Linebacker Alex Highsmith will miss the game with an ankle injury.
