The Minnesota Vikings will head into Saturday's Divisional Round playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers a bit shorthanded at defensive back. The team will be without safety Jayron Kearse when it takes the field at Levi's Stadium.
Kearse was listed as "doubtful" on Thursday's injury report and was downgraded on Friday. The team is already without cornerback Mackensie Alexander, who underwent arthroscopic surgery this week for the small tear in his lateral meniscus. He was placed on injured reserve on Friday.
