Minnesota Vikings linebackers Eric Kendricks (quadriceps) and Anthony Barr (knee) and defensive end Everson Griffen (concussion) did not practice on Thursday. Kendricks and Griffen were added to the injury report on Thursday, while Barr has missed practice the last two days. Kendricks led the league in Week 1 with 15 tackles after he missed the final five games in 2020, and it was encouraging that he played all the defensive snaps. Griffen is in a rotational pass-rushing role and played just 28 of the team's 69 defensive snaps in the Week 1 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Barr was limited in practice last week, but he was inactive in the season opener. Kendricks is a must-start IDP linebacker if he's able to play this weekend, but the Vikings defense/special teams remains a work in progress and can be avoided in fantasy.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerRead More News
