Greenard logged his fifth sack of the season Sunday after taking down Jared Goff for a nine-yard loss early in the fourth quarter. His five sacks on the year is tied with Andrew Van Ginkel and Pat Jones for most on the Vikings and tied for ninth-most in the NFL this season. Greenard will look to add to his sack total against Matthew Stafford and the Rams on Thursday night.

Greenard recorded four total tackles (three solo), including 3.0 sacks, during Sunday's 34-7 win over the Texans. Greenard dominated in his first game against his former team in Week 3, sacking C.J. Stroud in three different quarters while logging the most sacks he's ever had in a single NFL game. The first-year Viking has impressed through his first three games in Minnesota, recording six total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, over 137 defensive snaps. Expect Greenard to continue being one of the league's most dominant edge rushers as the Vikings travel to Green Bay in Week 4.

Greenard had six QB hurries, according to Pro Football Focus, as he helped lead a deep pass rush that had six sacks.

Greenard is slated to ink a four-year, $72 million contract with Minnesota, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Greenard put together a career year across 15 regular-season games in 2023, the final year of his deal with the Texans. With 52 tackles (36 solo), 15 tackles for a loss, 12.5 sacks and a forced fumble, Greenard earned himself a notable payday, now becoming a pillar of the Vikings' defense. Minnesota will have to hope Greenard can consistently replicate the production levels of his 2023 campaign, which isn't a sure thing considering that across the first three years of his career, he racked up 10.5 sacks combined. The arrival of Greenard could signal that Danielle Hunter won't ultimately re-sign with the Vikings.

Greenard (ankle) was listed as a nonparticipant on Tuesday's estimated practice report. Greenard played just three defensive snaps in Week 16 before missing Week 17 with the ankle injury. With Greenard having 12.5 sacks on the season, his loss has been big for Houston. The Texans need to win their Saturday game against the Colts in order to lock in a playoff spot
