Minnesota Vikings are set to face the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football in Week 7 at U.S. Bank Stadium.
It was a magnificent start to the season for San Francisco, but their perfect winning run came to an abrupt end as they unexpectedly lost to the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. The once-undefeated 49ers are now 5-1 and will want to get back on the winning ways on Monday night.
Minnesota, meanwhile, has gotten off to a slow start, starting just 2-4 after making the playoffs last season. Without star receiver Justin Jefferson, the Vikings could avoid falling to the basement of the NFC North last time out, thanks to an ugly 19-13 road win against the Chicago Bears.

Team news and squads
Minnesota Vikings team news
The Vikings will again be without the services of star receiver Justin Jefferson (hamstring) and outside linebacker Marcus Davenport (ankle), who was put on injured reserve on Wednesday. Cornerback Akayleb Evans is dealing with oblique soreness, while left-guard Ezra Cleveland sustained a foot injury late in the last game and was replaced by Dalton Risner.
Rookie Jordan Addison stepped up in Jefferson's absence with a fantastic touchdown, and the Vikings will need him to deliver the goods again in this game.

San Francisco 49ers team news
There were all sorts of miscues that doomed the 49ers against the Cleveland Browns, but fresh injuries to weapons like receiver Deebo Samuel (shoulder) and running back Christian McCaffrey (oblique injury) could cause concern for what has been a flourishing offense.
49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan is hopeful both could feature Monday, but that will depend on their recovery period. All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams is also dealing with an ankle injury after he left Cleveland in a walking boot.
