Eli Apple, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Rashad Jennings won't necessarily play for the Giants on Monday night against the Vikings, but they will be in the building.

The three banged-up starters will all make the trip to Minnesota, a team spokesman said Sunday. Jennings is questionable with a thumb injury, Rodgers-Cromartie is questionable with a groin injury and Apple is doubtful with a hamstring injury.

Safety Nat Berhe (concussion) was the only player who did not travel, according to the team. He had already been ruled out for the game. Right tackle Marshall Newhouse (calf), defensive tackle Robert Thomas (illness) and safety Darian Thompson (foot) have also been ruled out, but they made the trip to Minnesota.

Apple is unlikely to play, but the Giants are not yet ruling him out. Rodgers-Cromartie has a chance to play Monday, but it is unclear how strong of a chance he has to be active. According to NFL injury reporting guidelines, a questionable designation should indicate a player has a 50-50 chance to be active.

If Apple and Rodgers-Cromartie are both inactive, the Giants are expected to start Trevin Wade at one cornerback position opposite Janoris Jenkins, with Leon Hall in the slot and rookie Michael Hunter in a reserve role.

ESPN reported Jennings would miss a second straight game due to his thumb injury on Wednesday. But the veteran running back and head coach Ben McAdoo have, at least publicly, expressed some optimism his injury could progress to the point where he plays against the Vikings.

If Jennings is active, he will likely be limited. Orleans Darkwa and Bobby Rainey are expected to receive the bulk of the work in the backfield.

The Giants will have just two healthy safeties on Monday night - Landon Collins and rookie Andrew Adams. The team worked out several veteran safeties on Sunday morning, but the agent for one of the workout players tweeted the Giants will not make any roster moves until after Monday's game.
