10:30 AM -The following players are inactive for the Vikings for today's game against Tampa Bay:

QB Sam Bradford

WR Rodney Adams

WR Stacy Coley

G Danny Isidora

T Aviante Collins

DE Tashawn Bower

DT Jaleel Johnson

Vikings only have four wide receivers active today: Diggs, Thielen, Treadwell and Wright. Had gone with five wide receivers in previous weeks.

Also, cornerback Tramaine Brock active for the first time this season.

Buccaneers Inactives:

24 CB B. Grimes

56 DE J. Smith

58 LB K. Alexander

66 T L. Wester

68 C J. Hawley

82 TE A. Auclair

90 DT C. Baker

As the Vikings begin what could be a season-defining stretch, where they play four of their next five of home, including three of their next four against NFC North opponents, they will do so without Sam Bradford at least for today as they play host to the 1-0 Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Bradford was rules out for the second consecutive week due to a knee injury suffered during the Week 1 win over the Saints. He was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday before not practicing at all on Friday. Coach Zimmer was unsure of his long-term prognosis during his Friday press conference, but at least for one more week, Case Keenum will lead the offense.

Keenum was put into a tough spot last Sunday, having to debut on the road against a tough Steelers defense. The passing game as a whole struggled during the loss in Pittsburgh, but hopefully with a week to settle in under his belt and playing today in the friendly confines of U.S. Bank Stadium, the offense can take a step forward.

Just as they've done the first two weeks, regardless of who is at quarterback, it's clear that Dalvin Cook is becoming the centerpiece of the team's offense. He ran for over 100 yards during the Week 1 win over the Saints, and then last week, followed up with 64 yards on 12 carries, with limited chances due to the team being behind early. Cook spoke this week about needing to personally get off to faster starts, as most of his damage has been done in the second half of both games so far.

Getting Cook going early should also set the passing game up for success in keeping the Tampa Bay defense off balance. The team can't afford to get into second and third down scenarios against where they have 7-plus yards to gain, especially with a backup quarterback at the helm.

The Bucs defense will be without a few key pieces, as starting DT Chris Baker and LB Kwon Alexander have both been ruled out. DE Jacquies Smith (illness) will also miss today's game.

Similar to last year at times, given the unsettled situation on offense, it could fall on the team's defense to try and hold down the opposing team's offense. It'll be a tall task, as Tampa Bay's offense has high-end weapons all over the field, starting with QB Jameis Winston. He completed 18 of 30 passes last week in a lopsided win over the Bears where he wasn't asked to do too much.

The Bucs have one of the better wide receiver duos in the league, with Mike Evans and DeSean Jackson each providing a tough matchup in their own ways. Given his size, it could be up to Xavier Rhodes to shadow Evans all over the field today, with Trae Waynes and Terence Newman splitting the duties on Jackson.

Kickoff is set for Noon and the game will be broadcast on FOX and KFAN 100.3 FM. Stay with vikings.com and the Vikings App before, during and after the game for coverage.
