    NFL Inactives Tonight: Minnesota Vikings vs. Detroit Lions Including David Montgomery, Emmanuel Moseley, and Others

    Game 272. It’s the final game of the 2024 NFL regular season and the stakes haven’t been this high in over 30 years.

    The Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions meet on Sunday Night Football in essentially a winner-take-all game. The winner takes the NFC North, the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs, home-field advantage and the first-round bye. The loser falls to the No. 5 seed and hits the road for the Wild Card Round.

    This is the first time since the 1993 season that a game in the final week of the season is deciding the No. 1 seed in a conference. In that instance, it was between the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants.

    Let’s set the table for this game with a look at the latest injury news and projected starting lineups.

    Detroit Lions Inactives

    Latest Injury Report News and Updates

    The only player ruled out for the Vikings in Week 18 is outside linebacker Patrick Jones II. He suffered a knee injury last week against the Packers and did not practice all week. Rookie Dallas Turner will see an increased workload with Jones out.

    Two other Vikings are listed as questionable: LB Kamu Grugier-Hill (illness) and CB Fabian Moreau (hip). Grugier-Hill looks to be a game-time decision but is getting better from his illness and has a chance to play. Moreau was limited in practice all week. He has missed the last two games with his hip injury.

    The Lions have two players ruled out for Sunday: RB David Montgomery (knee) and CB Emmanuel Moseley (illness). The Lions placed Moseley on the Reserve/Non-Football Illness list Saturday, meaning he would be out for four games. That means he would only be able to return this season if the Lions lose Sunday but then make the Super Bowl, as the NFC Championship Game would be his fourth game missed. Otherwise, his season is over.

    The Lions did get good news Saturday, as they activated LB Alex Anzalone from injured reserve. Anzalone had been out since breaking his forearm in Week 11 against the Jaguars. Detroit also activated WR Kalif Raymond (foot) from injured reserve.

    Running back Craig Reynolds (back) is also listed as questionable.
