ATLANTA — As Jaren Hall makes his first start for the Vikings at quarterback on Sunday, he won't have left tackle Christian Darrisaw to protect him.
Vikings-Falcons inactives: Left tackle Christian Darrisaw out with injury for Jaren Hall's first start
Vikings left tackle Christian Darrisaw won't be on the field to protect their rookie quarterback. Brian Asamoah II, Kene Nwangwu and Lewis Cine are also out.
The Vikings made Darrisaw inactive for their game against the Falcons, after he was downgraded to questionable on Saturday because of a groin injury. David Quessenberry, the No. 2 left tackle on the depth chart, will likely start in Darrisaw's place.
The Vikings also deactivated safety Lewis Cine, scratching the 2022 first-round pick for the third time in four weeks after he returned from his hamstring injury, and ruled out linebacker Brian Asamoah II, wide receiver Jalen Nailor and running back Kene Nwangwu after all three were listed as questionable this week.
Defensive lineman Dean Lowry had already been ruled out on Friday with a groin injury.
Here is the full list of Sunday's inactives:
Vikings: LT Christian Darrisaw, S Lewis Cine, RB Kene Nwangwu, WR Jalen Nailor, TE Nick Muse, LB Brian Asamoah II, DE Dean Lowry
Falcons: WR Drake London, QB Logan Woodside, S DeMarcco Hellams, FB Keith Smith, OL Jovaughn Gwyn, DL Travis Bell, DL Joe Gaziano
Mike Conley was in Minneapolis, where he sounded the Gjallarhorn at the Vikings game, on Sunday during the robbery.
