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 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.

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.

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.

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.
