Josh Jones needs to step up without Burnett, I think the Rook can do it. No stats at my hand, but I believe Diggs has hurt us bad so at least him and Bradford are not suiting up.

So Vikings had a WR really go off on the Packers in both of the games last year.

Though with WR Diggs and RB Cook out... the Packers are probably going to focus on stopping Thielen and attacking the backfield. I'm thinking we'll see an aggressive defense, to put as much pressure as possible on that OL/QB/RB... though Brooks injury has me a bit concern with that, as Perry probably still has a club and one injury and they're down to Fackrell having to take a lot of defensive of snaps. That being said, they could be blitzing Josh Jones or other physical/fast guys as well.

So stop Thielen and put as much pressure on the OL/backfield as possible.

Though game planning for the Vikings injured offense is the easy part... that defense is the hard part. Only one team (Steelers) has scored 20 points on the Vikings (so far).
