Vikings starting quarterback Christian Ponder is inactive for the team's NFC wild-card game against the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night because of a bruised right elbow. Joe Webb, 1-1 as a starter in his career, will replace Ponder for the Vikings. Webb, a running threat, has yet to attempt a pass this season. Ponder completed a short throwing session during pregame warmups at Lambeau Field to test the elbow. He threw about 10 passes, none that went longer than 15 yards, and then left the field with Vikings athletic trainer Eric Sugarman. Here is the official inactive list for the Vikings: QB Christian Ponder, WR Stephen Burton. CB Brandon Burton, LB Tyrone McKenzie, OL Troy Kropog, DE D’Aundre Reed and DE George Johnson.
