Anthony Barr, Everson Griffen Out For Vikings Defense
3 years agoMinnesota Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr (knee) and defensive end Everson Griffen (concussion) have both been ruled out for Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals. Cornerback Harrison Hand (hamstring) will also be inactive. Griffen, who played only 28 of 69 defensive snaps in the Week 1 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, is in a rotational pass-rushing role at this point in his career. Barr was limited in practice last week, but he sat out of the season opener and will now miss his second straight game. Nick Vigil relayed calls from the sidelines in Week 1 and finished with 10 tackles (two for loss) and the team's first sack of the season. The Vikings defense should be avoided in fantasy against a Cardinals offense that put up 38 points on the Titans in Week 1.
