The Detroit Lions host the Minnesota Vikings in Week 9 of the 2025 NFL season on Sunday. There are several ways fans can watch and stream Sunday’s game.
The Lions (5-2) enter Sunday’s game fresh off their bye week and having handed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a 24-9 loss on Monday Night Football in Week 7.
Safety Kerby Joseph, who missed Week 7’s game with a knee injury, has been ruled out for Sunday’s tilt, according to the team’s injury report. Starting tackle Taylor Decker is questionable with a shoulder injury.
Minnesota (3-4) has dropped two straight and three of its last four, including a 37-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 8.
Quarterback J.J. McCarthy is expected to start under center for the first time since suffering an ankle sprain on Sept. 14. Backup quarterback Carson Wentz will have season-ending surgery for a left shoulder injury he suffered on Oct. 5.
The Vikings will likely have a boost on defense with the expected return of edge rusher Andrew Van Ginkel. The Pro Bowler hasn’t played since Week 3 due to a neck injury. Van Ginkel is listed on the team’s injury report as questionable, though he’s been a full participant in practice this week and head coach Kevin O’Connell said he expects him to play.
