The New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings, who square off against one another at MetLife Stadium, came into this weekend’s game with no injured players on their respective injury reports, meaning that all inactive players designated by the two teams are healthy scratches.

The Giants, who entered this game with 51 players on their roster before elevating linebackers Carter Coughlin and Ty Summers for special teams purposes, listed a pair of defensive backs, safety Anthony Johnson and cornerback Tre Hawkins III, on their inactive list.
