Vikings' Brian O'Neill: Returns to team drills
O'Neill (Achilles) participated in team drills Sunday for the first time during training camp, the Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
The right tackle tore his Achilles late in the 2022 campaign but managed to stay off the active/PUP list to begin training camp. O'Neill made the Pro Bowl in 2021 and has started 75 of 79 games in five seasons. He was able to work on his own at the start of training camp and has progressed to full practice. It looks like he'll be ready for the regular season, but the Vikings are likely going to keep him out of any preseason games.

Vikings' Brian O'Neill: Able to practice Wednesday
O'Neill (Achilles) played with the first-team offense during a walkthrough Wednesday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
The right tackle tore his Achilles late in the 2022 campaign but managed to stay off the active/PUP list to begin training camp. O'Neill made the Pro Bowl in 2021 and has started 75 of 79 games in five seasons. The 6-foot-7, 310-pound lineman should be able to hold down his starting spot if he's available by Week 1.

Vikings' Brian O'Neill: Won't go on PUP for camp
O'Neill (Achilles) will not be placed on the PUP list to begin training camp, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
O'Neill suffered a torn Achilles late last season, so it's encouraging to see him avoid the PUP list even if he won't be a full participant. Lewis reports that the Vikings have a day-to-day plan for O'Neill's rehab. The starting right tackle appears to have a chance to be available Week 1, barring any setbacks.

Vikings' Brian O'Neill: Will be ready for camp
O'Neill (Achilles) will be ready for training camp, head coach Kevin O'Connell said Thursday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
O'Neill suffered a partially torn Achilles late last season, which required surgery. He is no longer using a walking boot and appears to be on pace to start the season healthy, where he should continue to start at right tackle for the Vikings.

Vikings' Brian O'Neill: Sustains partially torn Achilles
O'Neill suffered a partially torn Achilles against the Packers last Sunday, and he won't return again this season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
After O'Neill was placed on injured reserve Tuesday with what was originally determined to be a calf issue, his injury has since been identified as a season-ending partially torn Achilles. Oli Udoh will now command Minnesota's starting right tackle duties in Week 18 and into the 2023 postseason.

Vikings' Brian O'Neill: Shifts to injured reserve
The Vikings placed O'Neill (calf) on injured reserve Tuesday, Carmen Vitali of Fox Sports reports.
After already being ruled out for Week 18 due to the calf injury he suffered Sunday versus Green Bay, Minnesota has since placed O'Neill on injured reserve, so he'll miss at least the next four contests. With the Super Bowl accounting for the 310-pounder's earliest possible return date, Oli Udoh is currently in line to serve as Minnesota's starting right tackle until then.

Vikings' Brian O'Neill: May have significant injury
O'Neill (calf) won't play Sunday against the Bears, according to head coach Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, Chris Tomasson reports.
O'Neill's injury, which was suffered in Sunday's loss to the Packers, was called "significant" by O'Connell. With a playoff spot secured, his absence Sunday in Chicago may not matter much, but any potential missed time in the playoffs could. When O'Neill exited Week 17, Oli Udoh took over at right tackle, and he'd be the likely candidate to start there Week 18.

Vikings' Brian O'Neill: Will not return
O'Neill has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Packers due to a calf injury.
O'Neill's absence will certainly be a blow to the Vikings' offensive line, which is already dealing with multiple injuries. Including to Austin Schlottmann (ankle), who has already been forced out and was starting at center for Garrett Bradbury (back), who was inactive. Oli Udoh will now take over at right tackle.
