Vikings rule out Mattison against Jaguars, elevate two players

The Minnesota Vikings have ruled running back Alexander Mattison out for Sunday’s game against the Jaguars because of an illness.

Minnesota also elevated tight end Brandon Dillon and defensive end Eddie Yarbrough from the practice squad to the active roster.

With Irv Smith Jr. out with a back injury, Dillon will add depth to the tight end position while Yarbrough will add depth with rookie defensive end D.J. Wonnum out due to injuries.

It is Dillon’s third elevation in the last four games while Yarbrough will play in his second game of the season.
