Minnesota Vikings' 2 elevations for Week 2 vs. 49ers show focus on the running game

   

The Minnesota Vikings have made two practice squad elevations ahead of Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers in running back Myles Gaskin and defensive lineman Jonah Williams.

This is the second elevation of the year for Gaskin who is the team's third running back. Gaskin got into the game on a few occasions on Sunday against the New York Giants. It is the first elevation for Jonah Williams this season.

The running game is going to be the most important aspect of the week two matchup. If the Vikings want to win the game, they will need to find a way to do both . The elevation of Williams also sends a signal that both Levi Drake Rodriguez and Jalen Redmond might be inactive for the second week in a row.

The game kicks off at noon CST.
