The 49ers are coming off their first loss of the season. After a defeat in Cleveland last week, the 5-1 Niners will stay on the road and look to get back to their winning ways in Minnesota on Monday night against the 2-4 Vikings. The Vikings won last week in Chicago and will try to make it two straight victories without their All Pro receiver, Justin Jefferson, in the lineup. The 49ers are also banged up. Brock Purdy’s favorite weapons, running back Christian McCaffrey and wideout Deebo Samuel, left last week’s game with injuries and might not play Monday night. The status of 49ers left tackle Trent Williams is also uncertain heading into Monday night.
The 49ers-Vikings game kicks off tonight at 5:15 p.m. PT (8:15 p.m. ET) on ABC and ESPN. You can flip over to ESPN2 during the game to catch the ManningCast with brothers Peyton and Eli calling the game with guests popping on to chat with the former NFL greats.
