Corey

Chavous

He suffered the injury in week 17 and is likely out for the playoffs.

No surprises. Kelly Campbell is active and should return kicks and be the fourth receiver.

He did some work at practice today, but is not recovered from his broken elbow.

His status for next week’s playoff game is in serious doubt.

As if the thin Vikings secondary didn’t have enough problems. Brett Favre and the Packers are set up for a big day.

Chavous should start at free safety this season, while Williams slides into the nickel back role with Fred Smoot in town. The Vikings secondary is deeper than a year ago.

Corey Chavous (pecs) is expected to be a game-time decision, but appears unlikely to play in reality. O.J. Atogwe will stay at home at free safety.

Hill did some work in practice last week and should return to full workouts before a matchup with Baltimore. With Corey Chavous still sidelined with a strained pecs muscle, the Rams will use O.J. Atogwe at strong safety and Ronald Bartell at free safety, which helps Atogwe’s short-term IDP value.

Either Jerome Carter, who is almost solely a special teamer, or Todd Johnson will replace Chavous against Arizona. Johnson figures to start.

Jerome Carter and Todd Johnson will likely split safety duties Sunday.
