Vikings' Jonathan Greenard: Placed on injured reserve
The Vikings placed Greenard (shoulder) on injured reserve Wednesday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.
Head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters Wednesday that Greenard would undergo season-ending shoulder surgery, and the latter's placement on injured reserve confirms that he will be sidelined for the rest of the 2025 campaign. The veteran linebacker will shift his focus into progressing enough in his recovery to be fully healthy for the start of the 2026 season.

Vikings' Jonathan Greenard: Done for season
Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that Greenard (shoulder) will undergo season-ending surgery, Kevin Seifert of ESPN reports.
Greenard missed two games due to the shoulder injury he picked up Week 10 and then attempted to play through the issue in three consecutive contests, including Sunday's win over the Cowboys. However, the injury is ultimately severe enough that he'll have to now undergo treatment. Greenard will conclude his second season in Minnesota with 38 tackles, three sacks, three passes defensed and one forced fumble in 12 games.

Vikings' Jonathan Greenard: Dealing with shoulder issue
Greenard (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against Dallas.
Greenard suffered an apparent shoulder injury in the fourth quarter, and his status for the stretch run of Sunday Night Football is now in doubt. In his absence, Dallas Turner is a candidate to see increased playing time at linebacker versus the Cowboys.

Vikings' Jonathan Greenard: Reduced playing time
Greenard had two total tackles as he played as the backup to starter Dallas Turner in Sunday's win over Washington. Greenard said he's still working through a left shoulder injury, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Greenard has been battling a sore shoulder since suffering the injury Nov. 9. He played on 29 of the defense's 52 snaps, though that is an increase from last week when he played just 15 snaps (22 percent). He could see more work Week 15 at Dallas as he works his way back to full strength.

Vikings' Jonathan Greenard: Set to suit up
Greenard (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Greenard will look to string together consecutive starts after missing Week 11 and Week 12 with a shoulder injury. The linebacker was on a snap count last week, logging just 22 percent of Minnesota's defensive snaps. If the shoulder injury is still a lingering issue this trend could continue, meaning Dallas Turner will likely get a healthy snap share similar to Week 13.

Vikings' Jonathan Greenard: Still dealing with shoulder injury
Greenard (shoulder) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.
Greenard returned to the lineup last week after missing the previous two games with a shoulder injury, but he played just 15 defensive snaps, his lowest total of the year. It's possible that this will be a lingering issue, which could keep him on a snap count once again in Week 14 versus the Commanders.

Vikings' Jonathan Greenard: Good to go Week 13
Greenard (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Greenard has been cleared to return Sunday from a two-game absence due to a shoulder injury, which means Dallas Turner will likely revert to a rotational role at edge rusher. Prior to his injury, Greenard accumulated 31 tackles (19 solo), including 2.0 sacks, three pass defenses and one forced fumble across nine regular-season games.

Vikings' Jonathan Greenard: On track to play Sunday
Greenard (shoulder) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday in Seattle, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Greenard took a designation into the weekend after he was a limited participant in practice Wednesday through Friday, but he looks like he's on track to be cleared ahead of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. After tallying at least 12.0 sacks in both of the previous two seasons, Greenard has been limited to just two through nine appearances with Minnesota in 2025.

Vikings' Jonathan Greenard: Questionable for Sunday
Greenard (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Greenard logged limited practices throughout the week, making five consecutive limited practices since he left the Week 10 game against the Ravens with a shoulder injury. The consistent stringing together of practices means there is a good chance the weakside linebacker is able to suit up for Sunday's game. If Greenard can't go, Dallas Turner is in line for the same uptick in defensive snaps that he saw in Week 11 and Week 12.

Vikings' Jonathan Greenard: Inactive versus Green Bay
Greenard (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers.
As expected, Greenard has been ruled out for the Vikings' critical divisional showdown after drawing a questionable tag following back-to-back limited sessions to end Week 12 prep. This will be the star pass rusher's second straight absence, allowing Dallas Turner to draw another start opposite Andrew Van Ginkel again.

Vikings' Jonathan Greenard: Not expected to play
Greenard (shoulder) is not expected to be active for Sunday's NFC North clash against the Packers, Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com reports.
Greenard drew the questionable tag for Sunday's game after ending the week with back-to-back limited practices, but it appears the 2020 third-rounder will miss a second consecutive game due to a shoulder injury. Dallas Turner would be the Vikings' second starting edge rusher opposite Andrew Van Ginkel if Greenard is inactive.

Vikings' Jonathan Greenard: Questionable to face Packers
Greenard (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers.
Greenard has a chance to return Sunday after sitting out Minnesota's Week 11 loss to the Bears. After recording at least 12.0 sacks in both the 2023 and 2024 regular seasons, Greenard has only 2.0 sacks through nine appearances in 2025.

Vikings' Jonathan Greenard: Bumps up to limited practice
Greenard (shoulder) participated in practice in limited fashion Thursday.
Greenard hurt his shoulder in Week 10 against Baltimore and didn't play this past Sunday versus Chicago. He began this week of practice as a non-participant but was able to get back on the field as a limited participant Thursday. Greenard's chances of returning to action Sunday against Green Bay could hinge on his participation level in the final practice of the week Friday.
