Vannett (oblique) does not carry an injury designation into Thursday's game against the Seahawks, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports. An oblique injury limited Vannett's participation in Monday's and Tuesday's walkthrough practices, but the veteran tight end has been cleared to play in Week 16 after logging a full practice Wednesday. He's mostly served on special teams this season and will operate as the Rams' TE4 behind Colby Parkinson, Terrance Ferguson and Davis Allen for Thursday night's game.

Vannett (oblique) was a limited practice participant Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log. The 32-year-old played 11 special-teams snaps and likely picked up an oblique injury during the Rams' Week 15 win over the Lions. Vannett's practice participation Wednesday and Thursday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can play in Thursday night's divisional matchup against the Seahawks.

Vannett reverted to Minnesota's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Vannett was elevated ahead of Sunday's win over Detroit and started alongside T.J. Hockenson, logging 27 of Minnesota's 62 offensive snaps. He didn't get any targets but did work ahead of Ben Yurosek (17 offensive snaps) as the Vikings' No. 2 tight end behind Hockenson. Josh Oliver (foot) didn't suit up Sunday but may be able to return in Week 10 against Baltimore, which would potentially prevent Vannett from getting elevated again.

Vannett was elevated from the Vikings' practice squad to the active roster Saturday. Vannett has bounced on and off the Vikings' active roster but has spent the last few weeks on their practice squad. With Josh Oliver (foot) out, Vannett will serve as depth among the tight end corps.
-
Minnesota re-signed Vannett to the practice squad Thursday. Vannett was cut by the Vikings on Monday as the team did some roster shuffling, but the veteran tight end now returns to the team as a member of the practice squad. He spent time on Minnesota's active roster earlier this year and suited up for four games, primarily playing on special teams. He could be elevated for a similar role in the future.
