Austin Keys: Works out with Seattle
Keys (undisclosed) had a tryout with the Seahawks on Tuesday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Keys was waived from injured reserve by the Cardinals on Aug. 24 after reaching an injury settlement with the team following an undisclosed injury. The linebacker now appears to be back to full health, and he'll look to latch on with a new squad as the 2026 campaign is just underway.

Austin Keys: Waived with injury settlement
Keys (undisclosed) was waived from injured reserve with an injury settlement by the Cardinals on Monday, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports.
The linebacker was placed on IR on Aug. 15 after likely suffering the injury during a preseason win over the Raiders. Now that he's reached a settlement with Arizona, he can play in 2026 if he gets healthy enough to suit up. Keys appeared in 11 regular-season games for the Vikings in 2025, playing mostly on special teams and recording seven tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks.

Vikings' Austin Keys: Estimated as full practice
Keys (ankle) was listed as a full participant on Monday's estimated practice report.

Vikings' Austin Keys: Not playing Week 16
Keys (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Keys posted an LP-LP-FP practice log during Week 16 prep while working through an ankle injury, but he has not been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. He's mostly served on special teams this season, but his absence means the Vikings will have less depth at inside linebacker behind Blake Cashman and Eric Wilson. Keys' next opportunity to play is Christmas Day against the Lions.

Vikings' Austin Keys: Will play Week 3
Keys (groin) is active for Sunday's game against Cincinnati.
A groin injury prevented Keys from playing against the Falcons in Week 2, but he has been cleared to play Sunday after logging limited practices this past week. Keys played solely on special teams during the Vikings' Week 1 victory over the Bears and will likely reprise that role Week 3.

Vikings' Austin Keys: Inactive for Week 2
Keys (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.
Keys popped up on Friday's practice report due to a groin issue. He was a full participant in that session, but the injury appears to have worsened over the weekend, and the undrafted rookie will observe Sunday night's game in street clothes. Keys played exclusively on special teams during the Vikings' Week 1 win over the Bears, but his absence leaves rookie sixth-rounder Kobe King as the lone backup inside linebacker behind Eric Wilson and Ivan Pace.
