D.J. Fluker – Important – Injury
RG D.J. Fluker, who left last week’s win over the 49ers in the second half with a Grade-1 hamstring strain, won’t play this week and could be sidelined longer. In his absence, second-year guard Jordan Simmons will earn his second start of the season against Minnesota.
Mychal Kendricks – Important
LB Mychal Kendricks, who had his suspension ended earlier this week, will play against the Vikings, though head coach Pete Carroll remained non-committal on if the team expects him to play the whole game. Austin Calitro could still see some snaps at weak-side linebacker with this being Kendricks’ first game action since Week 4.
