Vikings Play Packers in Week 4 Matchup

The Minnesota Vikings aim for their first 4-0 start since 2016 as they face the Green Bay Packers, who will be without star cornerback Jaire Alexander due to injury. Vikings linebacker Ivan Pace Jr. is also sidelined, while Jordan Addison returns after missing two games. Packers quarterback Jordan Love, recovering from an MCL sprain, is set to start but may be rusty against a strong Vikings offense led by Justin Jefferson. The absence of Alexander and fellow cornerback Carrington Valentine could weaken the Packers' defense significantly. Additionally, the Packers did not elevate backup quarterback Sean Clifford, indicating confidence in Love's return. The matchup highlights significant injuries on both sides, impacting the game's dynamics.
