  • Vikings' Will Reichard: Makes three FGs in Week 17 victory

    Reichard converted all three of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries Thursday in a 23-10 win over Detroit.

    All three of Reichard's field goals came in the second half. He nailed a 52-yarder and 56-yarder late in the third quarter, then put the final touches on the Vikings victory with a 42-yarder late in the fourth. Reichard hasn't missed a FG try since Week 8 and is an impressive 30-for-32 on the season while making all 30 of his point-after attempts.

  • Vikings' Jordan Addison: Takes jet sweep to house in win

    Addison failed to catch his only target but took his only carry 65 yards for a touchdown in the Vikings' 23-10 win over the Lions on Christmas Day.

    Undrafted rookie quarterback Max Brosmer got the start but threw for only 51 yards, suppressing the production of all the Vikings' pass catchers. Addison was able to salvage his day with his second career rushing TD, as he went the distance on a jet sweep in the fourth quarter -- putting the game away right after Detroit had closed to within a field goal. Addison will end up with career-worst receiving numbers in 2025 due to Minnesota's QB issues, but he'll get one more chance to make an impact Week 18 against the Packers.

  • Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Production lacking again

    Jefferson caught four of five targets for 30 yards in the Vikings' 23-10 win over the Lions on Christmas Day.

    Despite the limited production, Jefferson actually led Minnesota in catches, targets and receiving yards on a day in which rookie QB Max Brosmer threw for just 51 yards. The Vikings' issues under center have ruined Jefferson's season, and he still needs 53 more yards -- a mark he's failed to reach in five of the last six games -- to record his sixth straight 1,000-yard campaign. If J.J. McCarthy (hand) is able to suit up Week 18 against the Packers, Jefferson's odds of keeping his streak alive might be slightly improved.

  • Vikings' Ty Chandler: Gets first touches of season

    Chandler carried the ball seven times for 24 yards in the Vikings' 23-10 win over the Lions on Christmas Day.

    Out since Week 1 due to a knee injury, Chandler was activated from IR earlier in the week and stepped into the No. 2 RB role with Jordan Mason (ankle) sidelined. The seven carries represented Chandler's first touches of the season, and they all came in the second half after Aaron Jones had been checked out for a leg injury late in the second quarter. The veteran back wasn't removed from the game entirely after halftime, however. With both Mason and Jones potentially at less than 100 percent, and the Vikings having nothing on the line in their regular-season finale, Chandler could see an even bigger workload in Week 18 against the Packers.

  • Vikings' Aaron Jones: Toughs out injuries against Detroit

    Jones carried the ball 18 tines for 53 yards and a touchdown and caught three of four targets for 10 yards in the Vikings' 23-10 win over the Lions on Christmas Day.

    The veteran running back headed into the blue medical tent late in the second quarter to be checked for a left leg injury, per Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune, but Jones was back in the lineup on the Vikings' first possession after halftime. Jacons' one-yard TD plunge in the first quarter was his first score since Week 10, and just his second rushing touchdown of the season. He's seen a bigger workload the last two weeks while Jordan Mason (ankle) has been sidelined, gaining 156 yards from scrimmage on 44 touches, and with Minnesota having nothing to play for in Week 18, there may not be much incentive to push Mason back into action in the regular-season finale against the Packers.

  • Vikings' Max Brosmer: Carried by defense to Christmas win

    Brosmer completed nine of 16 passes for 51 yards without a touchdown or an interception in the Vikings' 23-10 win over the Lions on Christmas Day. He added 16 yards on two carries.

    Making his second career NFL start, Brosmer produced very little offense, but he crucially avoided any turnovers while the Minnesota defense generated an impressive six takeaways. The rookie quarterback did get sacked seven times, however. It's not yet clear if J.J. McCarthy (hand) will be cleared to play Week 18 against the Packers in a game that may not have anything at stake for either side, but if McCarthy gets shut down, Brosmer would be in line to make one more start in 2025.

  • Vikings' Elijah Williams: Won't return vs. Vikings

    Williams (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's contest against Minnesota.

    Williams was initially listed as questionable to return to action Thursday, but his ankle injury is severe enough that he'll spend the remainder of Christmas Day sidelined. The depth defensive lineman's next opportunity to take the field will come Sunday, Jan. 4 versus the Packers in Week 18.

  • Vikings' Myles Price: Won't return Thursday

    Price (ankle) has been ruled out to return to Thursday's game against the Vikings.

    Price suffered an ankle injury during the opening kickoff of Thursday's divisional matchup and will not retake the field. His next opportunity to return to action will come Sunday, Jan. 4 versus the Packers in Week 18.

  • Vikings' Elijah Williams: Picks up ankle injury

    Williams (ankle) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Lions.

    Williams sustained his ankle injury late in the second quarter of Thursday's divisional matchup. If he's unable to retake the field versus Detroit, both Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins and Levi Drake Rodriguez could see slight upticks in the amount of reserve defensive snaps allotted to them.

  • Vikings' Myles Price: Hurts ankle on opening kickoff

    Price, who injured his ankle on the opening kickoff of Thursday's game against Detroit, is questionable to return, Andrew Kramer of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

    With Price injured, Jalen Nailor is handling punt returns. Price collapsed while running back a kickoff and was untouched.

  • Vikings' Brett Rypien: Emergency QB for Week 17

    Rypien (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Lions but will act as Minnesota's emergency No. 3 quarterback.

    Rypien will get a chance to operate as the Vikings' emergency third-string quarterback with starter J.J. McCarthy (hand) ruled out for Thanksgiving Day. In order for Rypien to take the field, both Max Brosmer and John Wolford would have to be forced out versus Detroit due to injury, illness or ejection.

  • Vikings' Brian O'Neill: Not playing vs. Detroit

    O'Neil (heel) has been ruled out for Minnesota's game versus the Lions on Thursday.

    O'Neil managed to play through the injury during last week's win over the Giants but will be unable to do so against Detroit. In his absence, Walter Rouse should get the start at right tackle for Thursday's matchup.
