Top Vikings News

  • Vikings' Justin Skule: Dealing with shoulder injury

    Skule (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

    Skule wasn't announced to have suffered an injury during Minnesota's Week 10 loss to Baltimore, but the shoulder issue presumably happened during the contest. It's unclear if he'll be ready to suit up Sunday against the Bears.

  • Vikings' Will Fries: Suffers calf injury

    Fries (calf) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

    The Vikings have suffered a number of injuries along their offensive line this season, with Fries being the latest. It's a positive sign that he was able to take the field Wednesday, though his status for a Week 11 matchup against the Bears is unclear.

  • Vikings' Ryan Kelly: Designated to return

    The Vikings designated Kelly (concussion) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.

    Kelly has been sidelined since the Week 4 loss to the Steelers but is now closer to making his return. The 32-year-old was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice session, and the team will now have 21 days to officially activate him.

  • Vikings' Theo Jackson: Practices in full Wednesday

    Jackson (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Jackson was unable to clear the league's concussion protocol ahead of the Vikings' Week 10 loss to the Ravens. His ability to practice in full Wednesday indicates that he is progressing through the five-step protocol, but he'll need to be evaluated by an independent neurologist before being cleared to play against the Bears on Sunday.

  • Vikings' Jonathan Greenard: Opens week with DNP

    Greenard (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday.

    Greenard sustained a shoulder injury during the third quarter of the Vikings' Week 10 loss to the Ravens. The injury isn't believed to be a long-term concern, though he may have to miss Sunday's NFC North clash against the Bears, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. With Andrew Van Ginkel (neck) also working with an injury, Dallas Turner and Chaz Chambliss are both in line for increased snaps on defense in Week 11.

  • Vikings' Andrew Van Ginkel: Limited to open week

    Van Ginkel (neck) was limited in Wednesday's practice

    Van Ginkel missed five games earlier in the season due to a neck injury. He has played in the Vikings' last two games, but the issue appears to have cropped up again, limiting his practice participation to open Week 11 prep. Van Ginkel will have two more opportunities to log a full practice and fade an injury designation ahead of Sunday's NFC North clash against Chicago.

  • Vikings' Josh Metellus: Still nursing foot injury

    Metellus (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Metellus was cleared to play through a foot issue during the Vikings' Week 10 loss to the Ravens, when he posted three tackles (two solo) while playing every single defensive snap. Given his ability to practice Wednesday, Metellus should be able to play in Sunday's NFC North tilt against the Bears, barring a setback. The 2020 sixth-rounder has accumulated 22 tackles (nine solo), including 0.5 sacks, and an interception in the four games since the Vikings' Week 6 bye.

  • Vikings' Josh Oliver: Returns to practice

    Oliver (foot) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

    A foot injury prevented Oliver from practicing over the past two weeks and caused him to be sidelined for Weeks 9 and 10. His ability to practice in at least a limited capacity indicates that he is progressing in his recovery, and head coach Kevin O'Connell relayed to reporters Monday that he expects Oliver to be available for Sunday's NFC North clash against the Bears, per Alec Lewis of The Athletic. Oliver's return would mean less rotational snaps at tight end would be available for Ben Yurosek and Ben Sims.

  • Vikings' Aaron Jones: Remains limited in practice

    Jones (shoulder/toe) was limited at practice Wednesday.

    Jones is dealing with an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder and also a toe injury for a second week in a row, but he was able to play through them this past Sunday against the Ravens and turn 12 touches into 69 yards from scrimmage and one TD. Meanwhile, Jordan Mason played second fiddle to Jones en route to five touches for 31 total yards. Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not Jones again enters the weekend with a designation ahead of Sunday's game versus the Bears.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Vikings' J.J. McCarthy: Limited due to hand injury

    McCarthy (right hand) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday.

    McCarthy hit his right hand on a Baltimore defender's helmet while following through on a pass during this past Sunday's loss to the Ravens, but he didn't miss a snap and completed 20 of 42 passes for 248 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions while rushing five times for 48 yards. Alec Lewis of The Athletic reported Wednesday that McCarthy has some swelling in the hand in question, but there's been no indication that he's in danger of missing Sunday's contest against the Bears.
