Are the Vikings on upset alert against Eagles? (0:37)

Mark Schlereth is picking the Vikings to improve to 6-0 with a win over the Eagles, but Antonio Pierce says Minnesota is on upset alert. (0:37)

PHILADELPHIA -- The Minnesota Vikings will get Stefon Diggs back in their lineup Sunday, and they'll be counting on their leading receiver to return to a significant role in their passing game.

Diggs is one of just four receivers who will be active for the Vikings on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, as Jarius Wright will sit with an ankle injury and Laquon Treadwell will miss the game with a thumb injury. Wright was listed as doubtful and Treadwell was questionable on Friday. With both out, the Vikings will count on Diggs, Charles Johnson, Adam Thielen and Cordarrelle Patterson at receiver.

Guard Nick Easton is a healthy scratch for the Vikings. He has played in a heavy package for the Vikings over the last few weeks, so it's possible Jake Long -- whom coach Mike Zimmer said could get some snaps in his first game with the team -- could see some work in that role.

With Eagles nose tackle Bennie Logan out and Beau Allen starting in his place, the Vikings could find room to run against a Philadelphia team that allowed 230 rushing yards a week ago.

Here is the Vikings' full list of inactives on Sunday:

WR Jarius Wright

WR Laquon Treadwell

DT Sharrif Floyd

TE MyCole Pruitt

LB Kentrell Brothers

G Nick Easton

G Willie Beavers
