Top Vikings News

  • Vikings' Jordan Addison: Inactive in Week 5

    Addison (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game at New Orleans, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

    Addison is sitting out his first game of the campaign due to a sore hamstring that contained him to a pair of limited sessions during Week 5 prep. Meanwhile, fellow WR Justin Jefferson (ankle) is back in action for the first time since the second quarter of a Week 3 victory at Tampa Bay, leaving him as the Vikings' unquestioned No. 1 pass catcher for QB Kyler Murray. Minnesota has a Week 6 bye on tap, so Addison's next chance to suit up is Sunday, Oct. 25 versus the Colts.

  • Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Back in action Sunday

    Jefferson (ankle) is listed as active Sunday at New Orleans.

    Jefferson thus is set for his first in-game action since the second quarter of a Week 3 win in Tampa Bay, when he initially picked up a left ankle injury. After sitting out last Sunday versus the Dolphins, he logged three limited sessions during Week 5 prep, and with his status confirmed for Sunday, there's a good chance he serves as the top pass catcher for QB Kyler Murray with fellow WR Jordan Addison (hamstring) inactive, even if Jefferson can't handle a full workload.

  • Vikings' Jordan Addison: Looks poised to sit Sunday

    Addison (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, is expected to be inactive for the contest, Jeff Darlington of ESPN reports.

    Addison and fellow starting wideout Justin Jefferson (ankle) are both carrying questionable tags into Sunday, though Jefferson is expected to play through his injury after completing a pregame workout. On the other hand, Addison apparently isn't feeling as healthy as the 1 p.m. ET kickoff approaches, and he looks poised to miss his first game of the season after a sore hamstring kept him from practicing Wednesday and limited his participation Thursday and Friday. Minnesota elevated wideouts Odell Beckham and Jeshaun Jones from the practice squad Saturday to provide the team with additional options at the position in Addison's expected absence.

  • Vikings' Jordan Addison: Pregame workout to determine availability

    Addison (hamstring) will work out pregame before the Vikings make a call on his availability for Sunday's contest in New Orleans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Addison tended to hamstring soreness this week that didn't allow him to practice Wednesday before he logged a pair of limited sessions to cap Week 5 prep. Both he and fellow WR Justin Jefferson (ankle) entered the weekend listed as questionable, and the statuses of both players will be determined by how each one looks on the field beforehand. Addison's status will become known approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Listed questionable for Sunday

    Jefferson (ankle) will go through a pregame workout before the Vikings make a decision on his availability for Sunday's contest at New Orleans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Jefferson hasn't played a snap since injuring his left ankle in the second quarter of a Week 3 win at Tampa Bay, but he relayed to Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com on Wednesday that he was determined to suit up for a game in his home state of Louisiana. Limited practices Wednesday through Friday left Jefferson questionable for Week 5 action, and the upcoming workout will determine whether or not he's included among Minnesota's inactives about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. The same cane be said for fellow WR Jordan Addison (hamstring), which will leave the receiving corps particularly short-handed if both of them are sidelined.

  • Vikings' Michael Jurgens: Activated from IR

    The Vikings activated Jurgens (elbow) from injured reserve Saturday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.

    Jurgens is still questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints. However, his activation indicates that he has fully recovered from an elbow injury that caused him to open the regular season on injured reserve. Jurgens' return would bolster the Vikings' depth on the offensive line.

  • Vikings' Ben Yurosek: Activated from IR

    The Vikings activated Yurosek (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.

    Yurosek is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, but his activation from IR indicates that the Vikings are confident that Yurosek will be available to make his 2026 regular-season debut. The second-year pro opened the regular season on injured reserve due to an ankle injury.

  • Vikings' Jeshaun Jones: Brought up from practice squad

    The Vikings elevated Jones from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.

    The Vikings elevated both Jones and Odell Beckham from the practice squad, giving the team insurance at wide receiver in case one or both of Justin Jefferson (ankle) or Jordan Addison (hamstring) cannot play against the Saints on Sunday. Jones played 14 snaps (three on offense, 11 on special teams) without showing up on the box score otherwise during the Vikings' Week 4 win over the Dolphins.

  • Vikings' Odell Beckham: Up from practice squad

    The Vikings officially elevated Beckham from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game in New Orleans, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.

    With Justin Jefferson (ankle) and Jordan Addison (hamstring) tending to injuries and listed as questionable for Week 5 action, Minnesota has brought in reinforcements from the practice squad in the form of Beckham and Jeshaun Jones. Beckham only joined the team Wednesday, so even if he ends up being active, he likely doesn't have a bevy of situations in which he'll see the field.

  • Vikings' Odell Beckham: In line for elevation

    The Vikings are expected to elevate Beckham from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at New Orleans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Beckham caught on with Minnesota midweek and now has a chance to make his debut with the team as soon as Sunday, which may be contingent on the health of fellow WRs Justin Jefferson (ankle) and Jordan Addison (hamstring), both of whom are questionable for Week 5. If even one of Jefferson or Addison is inactive, Beckham seems poised to suit up, but what kind of role he can expect alongside Jauan Jennings, Tai Felton and Myles Price remains to be seen.

  • Vikings' Charles Demmings: Won't play vs. NOLA

    Demmings (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints.

    Demmings was able to log two-straight limited practices to end Week 5 prep. However, the rookie fifth-rounder will miss a second consecutive game due to a hamstring injury he picked up against the Buccaneers in Week 3. Demmings has mostly contributed on special teams this season, but his absence leaves Zemaiah Vaughn as the top rotational option at cornerback behind James Pierre and Isaiah Rodgers. The Vikings are on a bye for Week 6, so Demmings' next chance to play is Week 7 against the Colts on Sunday, Oct. 25.

  • Vikings' Brian O'Neill: Iffy for Week 5 vs. New Orleans

    O'Neill (knee) is questionable against the Saints on Sunday.

    O'Neill was limited in practice all week by a knee injury, which earned him the questionable tag for Sunday's road game. Christian Darrisaw (concussion) has already been ruled out, so Ryan Van Demark and Caleb Tiernan could be the Vikings' starting offensive tackles if O'Neill is unable to play.

  • Vikings' Christian Darrisaw: Won't play Sunday

    Darrisaw (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints.

    Darrisaw entered the league's concussion protocol following the Vikings' Week 4 win over the Dolphins. He was not cleared to practice during Week 5 prep, and in his absence, Ryan Van Demark will likely start at left tackle against New Orleans on Sunday.
