Booth (knee) will not return this season, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Booth had surgery Monday to repair his knee, and initially it was believed there was a chance he could return in January. However, it appears after the procedure was completed it was determined that would not be possible. The second-round rookie selection will now turn his focus to being ready for the 2023 campaign. Kris Boyd will be a candidate to see increased opportunity with Booth sidelined.

Coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that Booth (knee) will "more than likely" head to injured reserve after having undergone knee surgery, Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press reports. O'Connell said Booth's injury is "either going to be something that potentially ends his season" or a situation that could see him return "at some point in January." The rookie second-round pick began earning a role on defense starting Week 10, and he notched 12 total tackles in his last two games played. Starting with Sunday's game against the Jets, and as long as Booth remains out, Kris Boyd will likely handle an increased defensive role.

Booth (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Patriots, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Booth racked up a season-high nine tackles during last week's loss to the Cowboys but was unable to practice this week due to his knee injury. His next chance to suit up will be Dec. 4 against the Jets.

Booth (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Chicago. Booth will miss his fourth straight consecutive game due to a quad injury he suffered Week 1. In his only appearance during the season opener, Booth didn't play a defensive snap. Because he is an exclusively special teams player, his absence likely won't make an impact on Minnesota's defense.

Booth (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Eagles, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Booth suffered the injury during the team's Week 1 win over the Packers and didn't return. There was optimism that with the extra day off he'd be back for Monday's contest, but the rookie second-round pick was unable to practice all week. His next chance to play will come in Week 3 against the Eagles.
