29 Kris Boyd DB

Boyd (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.

Boyd will miss his third straight contest due to a lingering hamstring injury. The Vikings have a bye Week 7, so Boyd's next opportunity to retake the field will come Nov. 1 against the Packers.

Boyd (hamstring) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Boyd initially carried a questionable tag for Sunday's contest, and he'll now be forced to miss a second straight game. The second-year pro will target Oct. 18's game against the Falcons as a tentative return date.

Boyd (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

Boyd has been nursing a hamstring issue that caused him to miss last week's victory over the Texans. He practiced in limited fashion all week and is looking like a true game-time decision.

Boyd (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Texans, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.

Boyd entered the weekend with a doubtful tag but has officially been ruled out. George Iloka, who was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, will add depth in the secondary for the time being.

Boyd (hamstring) is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Boyd managed to play through his hamstring injury Week 3, but it appears as though he may since have aggravated the issue. With Mike Hughes (neck) out again, Boyd could handle significant snaps at cornerback if he's able to make a quick turnaround and suit up in Houston.

Boyd (hamstring) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Titans.

The 24-year-old cornerback had been dealing with a hamstring injury in recent days, but he's now clear to suit up for his 19th NFL appearance Sunday. Boyd has played just three total defensive snaps Weeks 1 and 2, but with Mike Hughes (neck) and Cameron Dantzler (ribs) both inactive for a Week 3 tilt against Tennessee, the young corner may see an uptick in defensive usage.

Boyd had a tackle on special teams in Sunday's loss to Green Bay. He did not play a snap on defense.

Boyd played 24 snaps, all on special teams, as he'll have a limited role as a deep reserve in the secondary on defense.

Boyd had two tackles and played on 15 of the defense's 74 snaps in Sunday's win over Atlanta.

The 2019 seventh-round draft pick begins the season as a deep reserve in the secondary and got playing time late amid a blowout win. He's unlikely to get much playing time, but Minnesota's depth in the secondary could be tested early with several players hurt.

The Vikings selected Boyd in the seventh round of the 2019 NFL Draft, 217 overall.

Boyd never displayed the type of promise that made him a top-10 cornerback prospect coming out of high school, but he did receive a first-team All-Big 12 nomination following a senior season in which he recorded 67 tackles and 16 pass breakups. A big, physical cornerback, Boyd is a willing tackler to the point where some pundits (wrongly) projected the Texas product could become a pseudo-safety in some exotic formations at the NFL level. There's a possibility the Vikings secondary depth chart could look dramatically different by the start of the preseason, but Boyd still figures to be a depth piece in his rookie campaign.
