Minnesota Vikings cornerback Xavier Rhodes (knee) is active for Week 3 against the Carolina Panthers.
Rhodes isn't listed as a starter, so he'll be eased in as he makes his 2016 debut. Even a limited Rhodes is a big boost for the Vikings' already strong defense. He should be close to full-go for Week 4.
The Vikings' defense already ranks ninth in the NFL in Defensive Passing Net Expected Points. Rhodes will contribute to that mightily when fully healthy.
