Vikings WR Berrian active despite hamstring

Posted: Updated:

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) - Wide receiver Bernard Berrian is active for the Minnesota Vikings despite a nagging hamstring injury, giving Brett Favre one of his top targets against his former team.

As expected, cornerback Antoine Winfield was inactive for the Vikings because of a right foot injury.

Tight end Jermichael Finley was inactive for the Packers with a knee injury. Finley caught 6 passes for 128 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 30-23 loss at Minnesota Oct. 5.

The Packers will be without center Jason Spitz because of a lower back injury, but left tackle Chad Clifton was active despite a nagging right ankle injury and was listed in the starting lineup. A pair of the Packers' midseason veteran signings, offensive lineman Mark Tauscher and running back Ahman Green, were active for Green Bay in reserve roles.
