Scott carried the ball twice for one yard and caught six of eight targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Steelers in Dublin.

The Vikings couldn't get much going on the ground and found themselves staring at a 21-6 deficit heading into the fourth quarter, so Scott saw a career-high workload as a pass catcher and capped a drive inside the final four minutes with a 16-yard TD reception, his first score in the NFL. Jordan Mason is locked into the top spot on the backfield depth chart for Minnesota as long as Aaron Jones (IR, hamstring) is sidelined, but Scott may have earned a more consistent role with this performance, beginning with a Week 5 tilt against the Browns in London.

Alt is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Giants due to an ankle injury.

Alt suffered the injury in the first quarter and was carted to the locker room after being examined in the blue medical tent. Austin Deculus has taken over at left tackle and will remain there for as long as Alt is out of the game.

Head coach Kevin O'Connell relayed after Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Steelers that O'Neill will have an MRI on his knee, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

O'Neill was unable to return to Sunday's game after suffering a knee injury in the first quarter. He'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury, and the results of those tests will provide clarity on his chances of playing against the Browns on Sunday, Oct. 5. Justin Skule would likely start at right tackle if O'Neill is unable to play Week 5.

Moore is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots due to an elbow injury, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Moore suffered the injury on a 12-yard rushing attempt on the Panthers' first offensive play of the game. The injury was severe enough that he had to be carted off the field, and he'll have his injury evaluated in the locker room. With Moore in the locker room and Xavier Legette (hamstring) and Jimmy Horn (coach's decision) both inactive, the Panthers will turn to Hunter Renfrow, Brycen Tremayne and Dalevon Campbell to pick up the slack at wide receiver behind first-round rookie Tetairoa McMillan.

Addison caught four of eight targets for 114 yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Steelers in Dublin.

Seeing his first action of the season after serving a three-game suspension, Addison had a quiet first half but then turned busted coverage into an 81-yard gain late in the fourth quarter that set up a Jalen Nailor TD reception, as the Vikings tried to rally from a 21-6 deficit. Addison figures to be productive again in Week 5, facing a Browns defense in London that has been far more vulnerable through the air than on the ground to begin the year.

Jefferson caught 10 of 11 targets for 126 yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Steelers in Dublin.

The superstar wideout saw double-digit targets for the first time this season and topped 100 yards for the first time as well, as the Vikings struggled to get their rushing attack going. Jefferson may have also had a little more room to operate with Jordan Addison (4-114-0 on eight targets) back from his suspension and providing another downfield threat for secondaries to worry about. Jefferson will take a 22-326-1 line on 31 targets into a Week 5 clash against the Browns in London, another defense that has been far more vulnerable through the air than on the ground to begin the season.

Mason carried the ball 16 times for 57 yards and caught all three of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Steelers in Dublin.

The former 49ers wasn't able to repeat his Week 3 breakout versus Cincinnati against a tougher front seven, and Mason's longest run against Pittsburgh went for only nine yards. He also saw backup RB Zavier Scott catch a 16-yard TD in the fourth quarter as Minnesota tried to come back from a 21-6 deficit. Things won't get any easier for Mason in Week 5, as he'll take on a Browns defense in London that has already stuffed Derrick Henry and Josh Jacobs this season.

Reichard made both of his field-goal tries and his lone extra-point attempt during the Vikings' 24-21 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Coming off his Week 3 outing against the Bengals in which he nailed a franchise-record 62-yard field-goal try, Reichard had no trouble converting on his field-goal attempts from 41 and 28 yards in the first half. Reichard has started the season 8-for-8 on both his field-goal attempts and extra-point tries through the first four games of the regular season. The Vikings will stay across the pond for Week 5, where they'll take on the Browns on Sunday, Oct. 5 in London, England.

Wentz completed 30 of 46 passes for 350 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Steelers in Dublin. He added 12 rushing yards on two carries and also threw a two-point conversion to Jalen Nailor.

The Vikings lost right tackle Brian O'Neill to a knee injury and center Ryan Kelly to a concussion in the first half, and Wentz was under constant pressure as a result, getting sacked six times in total. Minnesota headed into the fourth quarter staring at a 21-6 deficit, but Wentz was able to lead a comeback that fell just short, hitting Zavier Scott for a 16-yard TD and Nailor for a two-yard score inside the final four minutes. On the other hand, the veteran QB almost threw a third INT in crunch time, only to have it overturned upon review. With J.J. McCarthy (ankle) not quite 100 percent yet, Wentz is expected to get another start in London for a Week 5 clash with the Browns, but he'll need to take better care of the ball to have a shot at retaining the job when the Vikings return from Europe.

Boswell went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made all three of his extra-point tries during the Steelers' 24-21 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

Boswell lined up for a 30-yard chip shot to put Pittsburgh up by 11 points late in the second quarter, only for Isaiah Rodgers to break through the Steelers' line to block the kick, which resulted in a Vikings' field goal nine plays later. It was the first missed field goal of the season for Boswell, and through four regular-season games he's gone 5-for-6 on field-goal tries and 10-for-10 on extra-point attempts. The Steelers are on a bye for Week 5, so Boswell will make his next appearance in Week 6 against the Browns on Sunday, Oct. 12.
