Rotowire
Redmond (hip) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.
Redmond dealt with this hip injury last week but still managed to suit up and play 70 percent of the defensive snaps in the Week 13 loss to the Seahawks. With limited participation to start the week, Redmond has a great chance to play this Sunday versus the Commanders. The second-year nose tackle has piled up 43 tackles (25 solo), 4.0 sacks and three pass breakups across 12 games.

Vikings' Jalen Redmond: Questionable with hip issue
Rotowire
Redmond (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Redmond was a new addition to the injury report Thursday and was able to log only two limited practices as he nurses a hip injury. If the starting nose tackle has not recovered enough to suit up Sunday, Levi Drake Rodriguez and Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins will likely be asked to take more defensive snaps on the interior.

Vikings' Jalen Redmond: Nursing hip injury
Rotowire
Redmond (hip) was estimated as a limited participant on Thursday's practice report, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Redmond wasn't listed on Wednesday's practice report, so it's unclear whether the hip injury is something he sustained during practice or the Vikings' Week 12 loss to the Packers. Regardless, Friday's practice report will shed more light on his chances of playing Sunday against the Seahawks. If Redmond is not cleared to play, then Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins and Levi Drake Rodriguez would be in line for more snaps on the Vikings' defensive line.
