The Minnesota Vikings will put their slight playoff chances on the line when they face the Detroit Lions and they'll have the services of offensive tackle Christian Darrisaw.

Darrisaw was listed as questionable with an illness on the Vikings' final injury report but appears ready to go for Sunday's regular-season finale.

While Darrisaw will play, the news is not as good for offensive guard Ed Ingram (shoulder) and offensive tackle Brian O'Neill (ankle) who are both inactive for Sunday's game.

With starting cornerbacks Mekhi Blackmon and Byron Murphy Jr. also inactive for Sunday's game the Vikings will be severely shorthanded as they need a win over the Lions, losses by the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks and a loss by either the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or New Orleans Saints to make the playoffs.

Here's a look at the Vikings inactives for Sunday's game:

  • CB Mekhi Blackmon
  • CB Byron Murphy Jr.
  • QB Jaren Hall
  • S Theo Jackson
  • G Ed Ingram
  • T Brian O'Neill
  • DT Jaquelin Roy

Meanwhile, the Lions appear to be full strength for Sunday's game with the lone exception of wide receiver Jameson Williams, who is inactive with an ankle injury.

Here's a look at the Lions inactives for Sunday's game:

  • DL John Cominsky
  • CB Steven Gilmore
  • DL Charles Harris
  • QB Hendon Hooker (emergency QB)
  • DL Brodric Martin
  • WR Jameson Williams
  • TE Brock Wright

The Lions and Vikings will kick off at 12 p.m. on Sunday.
