Vikings' Lewis Cine: Healthy scratch for Week 6
Cine (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Cine was held out of Minnesota's last two games with a hamstring injury, though he logged full practices throughout the week leading up to the Week 6 matchup. It's possible that he still has to return to game shape, but for now, it appears as if Cine has slipped down the depth chart.

Vikings' Lewis Cine: Back to full speed Wednesday
Cine (hamstring) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Vikings' Lewis Cine: Remains sidelined
Cine (hamstring) is inactive Sunday against the Chiefs.
Cine will remain unable to play due to a hamstring injury. The second-year pro has had little involvement in the secondary this season, so his continued absence should have little to no impact on Minnesota's secondary in Week 5.

Vikings' Lewis Cine: Questionable Sunday
Cine (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Cine has been dealing with a hamstring injury that held him out of Minnesota's Week 4 win over Carolina. The 2022 first-round pick has been limited to special teams after recovering from last year's season-ending injury, playing zero defensive snaps so far in 2023.

Vikings' Lewis Cine: Out for Sunday at Carolina
Cine (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at the Panthers.
Still searching for his first defensive snap of the year, Cine will have to wait until at least Week 5 versus Kansas City to have another shot. If there are any beneficiaries in terms of playing time, 2022 sixth-rounder Theo Jackson is probably the biggest.

Vikings' Lewis Cine: Unable to practice
Cine (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
Cine was mistakingly left off the team's injury report, but it appears the second-year safety is working through a hamstring injury. The Georgia product has strictly worked on special teams so far this season, so any potential absence Sunday against the Panthers wouldn't impact the Vikings' core secondary pieces.

Vikings' Lewis Cine: Limited to special teams
Cine played 12 snaps on special teams in Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay and did not have a tackle.
Cine played in his first regular-season game after suffering a season-ending compound fracture in his left leg during Week 4 last season. It was thought Cine would challenge for playing time or even a starting safety role this preseason when back to full strength, but he didn't impress enough in the exhibition slate. He may be limited to special teams unless injuries strike the secondary.

Vikings' Lewis Cine: Warming up Saturday
Cine (undisclosed) is warming up and appears prepared to play in Saturday's preseason finale versus the Cardinals, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Cine suffered a minor, low-grade, soft-tissue injury earlier in the week at practice, but he appears to be recovered from the issue. The 26-year-old is attempting to lock up a spot on the Vikings' final 53-man roster as a backup to Camryn Bynum at free safety.

Vikings' Lewis Cine: Dealing with minor injury
Cine (undisclosed) is recovering from a low-grade, soft-tissue injury, per coach Kevin O'Connell, Ben Goessling of the Star Tribune reports.
O'Connell doesn't expect a long-term absence for Cine. Once healthy, Cine will try to finally stay that way for an extended period at the NFL level, as the 2022 first-round pick was limited to three appearances as a rookie by a broken leg.

Vikings' Lewis Cine: Plays first game since broken leg
Cine had three total tackles and played 40 snaps on defense in Thursday's preseason loss at Seattle.
Cine showed he's fully healthy after last year's broken leg by making an impressive tackle on the defense's first play of the game. The 2022 first-round draft pick missed all but three games last year due to a broken leg. He's currently third or fourth on the safety depth chart, but he could see action in three-safety sets and could contend for a starting job later in the season.
