Top Vikings News

  • Vikings' Brett Thorson: Appears set to return Sunday

    Thorson (hamstring) was a full participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday.

    Thorson missed Sunday's Week 4 win over Miami due to hamstring injury. However, with a pair of full practices to begin Week 5 prep, he's probably good to go for Week 5 versus New Orleans. Thorson should thus reclaim his role as the Vikings' punter.

  • Vikings' Brian O'Neill: Logs limited practice

    O'Neill (knee) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

    That's two straight limited practice sessions to begin the week for O'Neill, who is dealing with a knee injury. It's unclear if the current issue is related to the knee injury that he dealt with earlier in the campaign. Regardless, O'Neill has a chance of suiting up Sunday in New Orleans, but he'll likely carry an injury designation into the weekend unless he's able to practice in full Friday.

  • Vikings' Christian Darrisaw: Not yet practicing

    Darrisaw (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday.

    Darrisaw suffered a concussion Sunday against Miami. He's currently in the league's five step protocol, and he'll need to be cleared by an independent neurologist before he's able to suit up for game action. Darrisaw is in real danger of missing Sunday's matchup against New Orleans, and if that happens, Ryan Van Demark will likely step in to start at left tackle.

  • Vikings' Jordan Addison: Officially limited Thursday

    Addison (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

    One day removed from missing Wednesday's practice due to a sore hamstring, Addison rejoined his teammates and fellow WR Justin Jefferson, who missed a Week 4 win against the Dolphins due to an ankle injury but so far has been limited this week. Friday's practice report may provide insight regarding the statuses of both players ahead of Sunday's game at New Orleans.

  • Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Another limited session

    Jefferson (ankle) was limited at practice Thursday.

    Jefferson initially injured his ankle in the middle of a Week 3 win at Tampa Bay and missed this past Sunday's game against the Dolphins. So far this week, he's logged back-to-back capped sessions, and Friday's practice report may provide some clarity regarding whether or not a return to action Sunday in New Orleans is possible. For what it's worth, Jefferson told Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com on Wednesday that he wants to play this weekend as a native of Louisiana, but ultimately it'll be a team decision regarding his status.

  • Vikings' Jordan Addison: Back at practice

    Addison (hamstring) returned to practice Thursday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

    After playing 75 of 78 offensive snaps this past Sunday against the Dolphins, Addison is dealing with hamstring soreness that sidelined him at Wednesday's session. With Justin Jefferson (ankle) resuming on-field work this week, the Vikings' top two wide receivers appear to be putting themselves on track to suit up Sunday at New Orleans. Thursday's injury report will reveal both players' activity levels.

  • Vikings' Michael Jurgens: Back at practice

    The Vikings designated Jurgens (elbow) for return from injured reserve Wednesday.

    Jurgens was a full participant at practice Wednesday, which suggests he may be able to return to game action as soon as Sunday for Minnesota's contest against the Saints in Week 5. The transaction starts the clock on a 21-day window during which he can be officially activated before he'd be required to spend the remainder of the season on IR.

  • Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Intends to play Sunday

    Jefferson (ankle) said Wednesday that he's aiming to play Sunday at New Orleans, Kevin Seifert of ESPN reports.

    Coach Kevin O'Connell provided an update on Jefferson earlier Wednesday, saying the wide receiver "is doing well" and will be limited to begin Week 5 prep. Jefferson's ensuing activity level indeed was limited, but per the player himself he wants to play against the Saints as a native of Louisiana. The Vikings will take the situation "day by day," and his listing on Friday's practice report may be telling for his odds to suit up this weekend.

  • Vikings' Ben Yurosek: Returns to practice Wednesday

    Yurosek (undisclosed) practiced Wednesday.

    It's unknown how involved Yurosek was during practice, though it appears he could be nearing a return after landing on injured reserve to begin the 2026 campaign. The 24-year-old appeared in 12 regular-season games in 2025, amassing two catches (three targets) for 14 yards.
