The Vikings’ defense was intact for Sunday’s game against Arizona at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Returning to the lineup were linebacker Eric Kendricks, who suffered a hip injury in the first quarter last weekend at Washington, and cornerback Captain Munnerlyn, who sat out with a sprained ankle.

Kendricks also missed the Nov. 6 game against Detroit because of a concussion. Munnerlyn was knocked out in the first quarter of that game. The two were listed as questionable. So was cornerback and punt returner Marcus Sherels, back after sitting out against the Redskins with an ankle injury.

Cornerback Xavier Rhodes, who suffered a concussion early in the fourth quarter against the Redskins, returned to the lineup, as well. Sunday marked the most healthy the Vikings’ defense has been since Oct. 23 at Philadelphia, their first game following a bye week.

T.J. Clemmings will start at left tackle for the Vikings, replacing Jake Long — lost for the season at Washington with a torn Achilles tendon.

Inactive for the Vikings were defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd, who missed his ninth straight game with a knee injury, quarterback Taylor Heinicke, wide receiver Jarius Wright, offensive linemen Zac Kerin and Rashod Hill, linebacker Edmond Robinson and tight end David Morgan.

Inactive for Arizona were safety Tyrann Mathieu, wide receiver Chris Hubert, cornerback Tharold Simon, guard Cole Toner and defensive tackles Robert Nkemdiche, Olsen Pierre and Corey Peters.

Wright, who has played in just three games this season, was active against the Redskins when rookie Laquon Treadwell was out with a hamstring injury, but Treadwell was back against the Cardinals.

Hill was signed last Tuesday after Long was placed on injured reserve with a torn Achilles. He was deemed not ready to be active after just three practices with the team.

With Morgan inactive, it marked the second time in three games under interim offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur that the Vikings had just two tight ends active. They were starter Kyle Rudolph and Rhett Ellison.
