Vikings vs. Lions inactives, Week 1: Kevin Williams OUT for Minnesota

The Vikings will miss DT Kevin Williams in their Week 1 matchup against the Lions.

Vikings' defensive tackle Kevin Williams will not suit up for the Vikings in their Week 1 matchup against the Lions. The battle in Detroit will also be without safety Mistral Raymond, who started three games for the Vikings last season. Outside of Raymond and Williams, the Vikings have a pretty healthy unit heading into Sunday's game.

The Lions will be without wide receiver Ryan Broyles, who is still recovering from injury. The home team will also be without running back Mikel Leshoure, who rushed for nine touchdowns last season for the Lions. Other notable names that will miss the Week 1 game for Detroit are veteran guard Leroy Harris and rookie defensive end Devin Taylor.
