The official list of inactives for today's Lions-Vikings game has some good news for both teams' passing offenses.
Vikings wide receiver Bernard Berrian is active and should be a big target for Brett Favre against the Lions' secondary, while Vikings cornerback Antoine Winfield is inactive, which should help Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford find wide receiver Calvin Johnson.
The list of inactives for the Lions includes third quarterback Drew Stanton, running back Aaron Brown, cornerback Anthony Henry, linebacker Ernie Sims, guard Daniel Loper, tackle Ephraim Salaam, defensive end Cliff Avril and defensive tackle Landon Cohen.
The list of inactives for the Vikings includes Winfield, third quarterback Sage Rosenfels, wide receiver Jaymar Johnson, running back Albert Young, linebacker Erin Henderson, center Jon Cooper, defensive end Jayme Mitchell and defensive tackle Letroy Guion.

Isn't Jaymar Johnson the Vikings primary punt returner? Are they finally going to let Harvin return punts as well as kicks? I know it's a little bit more involved than kick returner and he wasn't grasping it too well in the preseason.
Darius Reynaud was their primary returner before he got injured. Hes a much better returner than Jaymar.
Berrian actively dropped about 5 passes yesterday.
