Vikings rule out Sharrif Floyd, Xavier Rhodes for Week 2

Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd (knee) and defensive back Xavier Rhodes (knee) have been ruled out for Week 2 versus the Green Bay Packers.

What It Means:

Those are two pretty big blows heading into a divisional showdown with Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. Head coach Mike Zimmer quipped that he's "kind of used to it" when asked if he was surprised by Floyd's absence.

The Vikings rank third in Defensive Adjusted Net Expected Points per play after their Week 1 victory over the Tennessee Titans.
