Napoleon Harris OUT this week with a dislocated wrist; Dontarrious Thomas to start. Thomas may get extended playing time if Harris can't get back quickly.
Kevin Williams still gimpy and questionable -- gametime decision per Childress.
Minneapolis Star-Tribune
The Vikings acknowledged Friday they will be without two key players Sunday in San Francisco, declaring linebacker Napoleon Harris and receiver Marcus Robinson out for the game.
Dontarrious Thomas will replace Harris in the starting lineup, coach Brad Childress said. And while the Vikings upgraded center Matt Birk (knee) and defensive tackle Pat Williams (knee) to probable, defensive tackle Kevin Williams (ankle) remained questionable and was limping in the locker room after practice.
Kevin Williams' status likely won't be decided until Sunday.
Harris' wrist has been placed in a cast, and he is "week-to-week," Childress said. Thomas likely will get several starts in his place, beginning against the 49ers.
