Price returned six kickoffs for 143 yards in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Cowboys.

Price also took the field for a play on offense, but the depth receiver has yet to touch the ball as anything but a return man through his first 14 NFL games. While ball security (four fumbles) has been somewhat of an issue for Price, he's provided a boost to the Minnesota special teams with an average of 26.0 yards per kickoff return and 9.9 yards per punt return.

Turner (ribs) had his 21-day window opened to return from the injured reserve list Wednesday.

Turner has yet to play this season due to a rib injury, but it now appears he's nearing a return. The 2021 first-round pick from Houston appeared in 16 games with the Saints in 2024, recording 21 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, four passes defensed and two forced fumbles. Dallas must still activate the 26-year-old to its active roster in order for him to suit up for the Week 16 matchup against the Chargers.

Mafah (shoulder) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Wednesday.

The rookie running back from Clemson was placed on IR in late August due to a shoulder issue, but it now appears he's nearing a return. Mafah has yet to make his NFL debut after posting 1,115 rushing yards, 103 receiving yards and eight total touchdowns during his final collegiate season. He must still be activated to the Cowboys' active roster in order to suit up for the Week 16 matchup against the Chargers.

Felton went without a target while taking the field for only one of the Vikings' 55 snaps on offense in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Cowboys.

Felton notched his second reception of the season in a Week 14 blowout win over the Commanders, but he went back to having a nonexistent role on offense in a more tightly contested Week 15 contest. The rookie third-round pick out of Maryland is expected to continue seeing most of his playing time on special teams rather than offense while all of the Vikings' top three receivers -- Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and Jalen Nailor -- are available.

Scott played all three of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Cowboys.

Scott picked up three carries in garbage time of last week's 31-0 win over the Commanders, but the Vikings leaned exclusively on Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason out of the backfield in a more competitive Week 15 contest. Unless one of Jones or Mason misses a game due to injury, Scott is unlikely to have much of a role on offense, if any, over the final three weeks of the season.

Taylor (triceps) won't practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

The 28-year-old has been sidelined for the Chiefs' last two games due to a triceps injury, and Wednesday's DNP suggest he's still dealing with the issue. If Taylor is forced to miss his third consecutive contest in the Week 16 matchup against the Titans, Jaylon Moore (knee) could get the start at right tackle.

Oladejo (leg) was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Oladejo hasn't played since October due to a right leg fracture, so it's encouraging to see the rookie second-round pick ready to resume practicing. He will have a 21-day window wherein he can take practice reps without counting against the active roster. Oladejo can be activated from IR anytime in that span and as early as Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters Wednesday that Metellus will have his injured shoulder surgically repaired and miss the remainder of the 2025 season, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

Metellus has been dealing with a shoulder injury over the last couple of weeks, and the Vikings have now decided to shut him down for the remainder of the season to have the injury surgically repaired. The 27-year-old is a crucial part of Minnesota's defense, recording 86 total tackles and six passes defensed, including two interceptions, across 14 games this year. While he's sidelined, expect Jay Ward to have an expanded role in the Vikings' secondary.

Jackson (undisclosed) wasn't spotted at Wednesday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Jackson was rested last Wednesday before returning to a full session Thursday, and there's a solid chance that pattern will be be repeated this time around. The Ravens' upcoming injury report will note whether or not that's case or if the QB is managing an injury issue ahead of Week 16 action.

Bateman (ankle) is participating in Wednesday's practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Bateman will likely be limited Wednesday, but it's encouraging to see him back on the practice field after he missed Baltimore's win over the Bengals in Week 15. He was added to the injury report as limited last Thursday then missed practice entirely Friday. Bateman's production has been disappointing in 2025, as across 11 regular-season appearances he's tallied just 18 catches for 217 yards and two scores on 36 targets.
