The IR designation means Dantzler will be out at least four weeks, meaning he’ll be unavailable against the Bills on Sunday and then in Minnesota’s games Weeks 11-13 against the Cowboys, Patriots and Jets.
Dantzler suffered an ankle injury on Sunday in Minnesota’s 20-17 win over the Commanders. Rookie Akayleb Evans filled in admirably and will now be tasked with a massive role starting opposite of veteran corner Patrick Peterson.
The Vikings and Bills kick off at noon Sunday.
