The Vikings have ruled Edge Andrew Van Ginkel out for Thursday night's game against the Chargers. This'll mark the fourth straight missed game for Van Ginkel, surrounding the team's Week 6 bye. That Minnesota never put him on IR indicates they didn't expect him to be out this long -- or at least hoped that he wouldn't. We'll see whether the longer break before a Week 9 visit to Detroit is enough to get him back on the field.
