O'Neill (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Seahawks and is expected to play. O'Neill was banged up in last Monday night's win over the Bears but is good to go for Week 16 versus Seattle.

Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Tuesday that O'Neill (knee) is "sore" after Monday's 30-12 win over the Bears, but that he's trending in the right direction to play Sunday at Seattle, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports. O'Connell said O'Neill "should be able to work through the week" en route to Sunday's road matchup against the Seahawks. The starting right tackle was forced out of the first half of Monday's divisional win, but he managed to return after Minnesota's first series of the second half with a brace on his knee, Dave Mitzutani of the Twin Cities Pioneer Press reports.

O'Neill (foot) took part in practice Friday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports. O'Neill played in only one of Minnesota's final four games last season with what was eventually disclosed as a small fracture in his left foot. He appears to be back to full health and is slated to work as the Vikings' starting right tackle for the 2024 campaign.

O'Neill disclosed Jan. 8 at the end of the regular season that he had been playing through a small fracture in his left foot before sitting out three of the Vikings' final four games, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Head coach Kevin O'Connell had previously said that O'Neill was managing a left ankle sprain when the left tackle initially sustained the injury in a Dec. 10 win over the Raiders. Though O'Neill had previously dealt with a partially torn Achilles' tendon during the 2022 season, he noted that the foot fracture is a far more painful injury. He'll continue to recover from the injury over the next few months, but he should enter training camp with no restrictions, if he's not cleared for OTAs before then.

O'Neill (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Lions, Matthew Coller of Purple Insider reports. O'Neill practiced fully Wednesday, but the veteran right tackle will miss his third game in the last four weeks. O'Neill returned last week but lasted just two offensive snaps before getting hurt again. David Quessenberry will likely make another start.
