Robinson is expected to replace starting left tackle Christian Darrisaw, who tore two ligaments in his left knee in the Oct. 24 loss to the Rams. Robinson, an eighth-year veteran, didn’t practice with the Vikings until Thursday after arriving to the team’s Eagan headquarters on Wednesday and undergoing a medical examination to complete the trade.
Guard Dalton Risner is also active and available to play for the Vikings. He was activated from injured reserve on Saturday. He has practiced with the team since Oct. 14 while returning from a back injury in August.
The Vikings defense will play a third game without linebacker Blake Cashman, who has yet to return to practice from an Oct. 6 turf toe injury suffered against the Jets. Cornerback Akayleb Evans will also miss a third game due to a hip injury. He had practiced fully earlier in the week, but was downgraded on Friday to limited reps.
The Vikings placed defensive tackle Taki Taimani on injured reserve due to an ankle injury that appeared to be suffered during Wednesday’s practice. Defensive tackle Levi Drake Rodriguez, the rookie seventh-round pick, is active for the first time this season. Defensive tackle Jalen Redmond has been elevated from the practice squad for Sunday night. This is Redmond’s second of three possible elevations this season.
Vikings’ inactives: Cashman (toe), Evans (hip), CB Dwight McGlothern, OT Walter Rouse and G Dan Feeney
Colts’ inactives: OT Bernhard Raimann (concussion), DE Genard Avery, G Anthony Gould and DE Adam Gotsis
