  Vikings | Kyler Murray's Week 9 status uncertain, O'Connell says he 'remains the starter' if healthy    Mon Nov 2, 05:24 PM

Vikings QB Kyler Murray's hamstring is sore enough on Monday that the team does not yet know if he will be available for the Week 9 Monday night game against the Bills. If healthy, Murray remains the starter, head coach Kevin O'Connell said.

  Vikings | Kyler Murray's hamstring 'sore today,' O'Connell unsure on MNF availability    Mon Nov 2, 02:48 PM

Vikings QB Kyler Murray's hamstring is "sore today," head coach Kevin O'Connell said on Monday, adding that the team is "going through a full eval of that as we work through the day."

Footballguys view: Asked whether the injury could affect Murray's availability for next Monday's game against the Bills, O'Connell said "I don't think we're there yet" in terms of having an answer. Murray developed hamstring tightness late in Sunday's loss to the Lions. Carson Wentz will be standing by, but we might not gain clarity soon. The Vikings won't hit the practice field for Monday night's game until Thursday.

  Vikings | Justin Jefferson declines to speak after loss; O'Connell, Murray acknowledge frustration    Sun Nov 1, 07:21 PM

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson declined to speak with reporters after Sunday's 19-15 loss to the Lions in Detroit. Head coach Kevin O'Connell and QB Kyler Murray both acknowledged the receiver's frustration. Jefferson said last week that his slow statistical season was "definitely an in-between feeling" during the Vikings' 6-0 start.

Footballguys view: O'Connell pointed to three plays where he thought Murray could have given Jefferson better chances to make big plays. As ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert noted, Jefferson has been unable to maintain his career production levels since the start of the 2025 season, as the Vikings have used four different starting quarterbacks. He has already doubled his touchdown output this season (four) when compared with 2025, but otherwise is off to the worst start in his career. It's a situation worth watching.

  Vikings | Kyler Murray developed hamstring tightness late in loss to Lions    Sun Nov 1, 05:37 PM

Vikings QB Kyler Murray developed hamstring tightness toward the end of Sunday's 19-15 loss to the Lions, head coach Kevin O'Connell said. It happened at some point in the fourth quarter, and Murray said it came late enough that he wasn't really hampered. "We'll look at it, obviously, and do what we need to do," Murray said.

Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com's Zachary Pereles noted, Murray was dreadful again Sunday: 17-for-29 for 210 yards, two touchdowns and one interception, with three sacks taken. He also ran four times for 35 yards, which was a team high (more on that in a bit). One of his touchdown passes was a miraculous Justin Jefferson catch. With Jefferson growing increasingly frustrated, we'll be watching developments here closely. Backup Carson Wentz has been effective when called upon. The Vikings play the Bills in Week 9.

  Vikings | Mason held to 20 yards on 8 carries in loss to Lions    Sun Nov 1, 04:10 PM

Minnesota Vikings RB Jordan Mason ran 8 times for 20 yards in Sunday's 19-15 loss to the Detroit Lions. He was projected for 10.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.0.

Footballguys view: Aaron Jones Sr. once again played after suffering an aggravation of his nagging knee injury last week, and he arguably outplayed Mason. It doesn't appear that Jones is going away after getting a heavy workload on a gimpy knee for four weeks while Mason was on injured reserve with a thumb injury. The offense is not coming together with Kyler Murray at quarterback, and neither Vikings running back is more than a what-the-heck flex against the Bills next week. With Kyler Murray suffering some hamstring tightness in the loss, there's always a chance that we will see Carson Wentz start Monday night.

  Vikings | Jauan Jennings nixed trade back to 49ers, decided to stay in Minnesota    Sun Nov 1, 01:21 PM

The Vikings and 49ers had a deal in place to trade Vikings WR Jauan Jennings back to San Francisco, but Jennings decided to stay in Minnesota, Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reported. The deal was contingent on Jennings getting on a Zoom call with 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan and GM John Lynch, and Jennings passed. Jennings, who spent his entire career with San Francisco before signing with the Vikings, had two catches for 34 yards against the Colts last Sunday after totaling two catches for nine yards in four games before that.

  Vikings | Aaron Jones returns to practice Thursday    Thu Oct 29, 03:49 PM

Vikings RB Aaron Jones Sr. (knee) returned to practice on Thursday. Jones had been held out of practice on Wednesday, head coach Kevin O'Connell said. Jones has been playing through a sprained MCL since Week 2 and has been considered day to day. The Vikings play at the Lions on Sunday.

Footballguys view: Jones is back in action, and that's a good sign for Week 8's game against the Lions. He's working in an RBBC with Jordan Mason, and Fantasy GMs should consider Jones more of a deep flex play in his current role. Mason is more of an RB3/flex play in his current role. Circle back Friday to see if Jones is still on track to play in Week 8.

  Vikings | 'Some confidence' Aaron Jones will be available Sunday    Thu Oct 29, 08:15 AM

There was some confidence on Wednesday that Vikings RB Aaron Jones Sr. (knee) will be available for Sunday's Week 8 game against the Lions. Jones had previously been called 'day to day' and has played with a sprained MCL since Week 2.

Footballguys view: Jones has been playing with this for over a month, and the Vikings have given him quite the workload. With Jordan Mason back last week, the Vikings moved to more of an RBBC. That should help Jones as he continues to deal with - and likely play through - this knee problem.

  Vikings | Aaron Jones will miss Wednesday's practice    Wed Oct 28, 02:03 PM

  Vikings | Aaron Jones 'day to day', had played with sprained MCL since Week 2    Mon Oct 26, 11:03 AM

Vikings RB Aaron Jones Sr. had been playing with a sprained left MCL since Week 2 before suffering a knee injury in Sunday's win over the Colts. The latest knee injury is not considered significant at this time, and a source described Jones as "day to day," ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Monday.

Footballguys view: While the news is positive, Jones will continue to deal with this injury. Meanwhile, Jordan Mason averaged 4.5 yards per carry in his return from IR Sunday and was likely to play a more robust role in the coming weeks regardless of Jones' health. Expect that trend to continue when the Vikings take on the Lions in Week 8.

  Vikings | Aaron Jones to have MRI on knee Monday, hope is it's not long-term    Sun Oct 25, 07:14 PM

Vikings RB Aaron Jones Sr. will have an MRI on his knee on Monday. The hope is that the injury won't be a long-term one.

Footballguys view: Jones made an early exit from Sunday's win over the Colts after a 17-yard gain in the fourth quarter. He ran 8 times for 26 yards and also caught 1 pass for 0 yards on 1 target before aggravating an existing injury. Jordan Mason, who averaged 4.5 yards per carry in his return from IR Sunday, will be available to pick up any slack.

  Vikings | Jones (knee) leaves in fourth quarter, held to 26 yards on 8 carries in win over Colts    Sun Oct 25, 03:51 PM

Minnesota Vikings RB Aaron Jones Sr. ran 8 times for 26 yards and also caught 1 pass for 0 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 10.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 3.1.

Footballguys view: Jones left in the fourth quarter after taking a hit on the knee in which he sprained his MCL back in Week 2. He did not return to the game. Jordan Mason should be the starter next week against the Lions and will be ranked as a solid RB2 play assuming Jones can't go.

The Vikings activated RB Jordan Mason from injured reserve on Saturday ahead of Sunday's Week 7 game against the Colts. Mason had been sidelined since suffering a hand injury in Week 1 that required surgery; he rushed 15 times for 59 yards and a touchdown in the season opener against Green Bay. With Mason out, RB Aaron Jones Sr. has rushed 85 times for 370 yards since Week 2. To make room, the Vikings released RB DeeJay Dallas and signed him to the practice squad, and Dallas will be elevated for Sunday's game.

  Vikings | Vikings plan to activate Jordan Mason from IR 'if all goes well today'    Sat Oct 24, 01:04 PM

The Vikings plan to activate RB Jordan Mason (thumb) from injured reserve on Saturday if all goes well, per sources. Mason was listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts after returning to practice this week, including a full session on Thursday. His return would give Minnesota another key back alongside RB Aaron Jones Sr.

Footballguys view: Aaron Jones has done a fine job as the lead back for the Vikings, but Mason should be getting that role back eventually. They could ease him back into action, so Mason is more of an RB3/flex consideration in his first game action since Week 1. Jones is a bit higher this week, but only in the RB3 range.

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson (ankle) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's Week 7 game against the Colts and is among the players ready to go. RB Jordan Mason is Minnesota's only player with a designation.

Footballguys view: Jefferson played through this ankle injury in Week 5, got a week of rest during the bye, and will play without a designation in Week 7. Start him as a WR1.

  Vikings | Jordan Mason 'technically questionable' for Sunday, 'things are looking positive'    Fri Oct 23, 02:07 PM

Vikings RB Jordan Mason is "technically questionable" for Sunday's game against the Colts, head coach Kevin O'Connell said on Friday. Mason, who was designated to return from injured reserve this week, practiced in full all week, and O'Connell said "things are looking positive" for him to play. Mason is the only Vikings player with an injury designation for the game.

Footballguys view: The Vikings have no incentive to rush to activate Mason from IR and will likely do so as we get closer to Sunday's kickoff. Aaron Jones has been handling a massive load in Mason's absence, and this week's reports noted that he's been playing through an MCL sprain. If Mason is active, he might take on a bit more than his normal workload while Jones gets some much-deserved rest.

  Vikings | T.J. Hockenson at 'final stage' of concussion protocol, will practice    Wed Oct 21, 02:31 PM

Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson will practice on Wednesday and is at the final stage of the concussion protocol, head coach Kevin O'Connell said. There is optimism that Hockenson will play in Sunday's game against the Colts. Hockenson suffered the concussion in the team's Week 5 win over the Saints and did not return.

Footballguys view: Hockenson had the bye week to rest in Week 6, and we'll see how his body responds to practice in preparation for Week 7. At this time, Hockenson has to be considered a TE2 with upside. Fantasy GMs need to circle back to see if he's cleared league protocol.

  Vikings | Jordan Mason designated for return from IR, expected back at practice Wednesday    Mon Oct 19, 04:31 PM

The Vikings designated RB Jordan Mason for return from injured reserve on Monday. Mason, who has been sidelined following thumb surgery, is expected to be back at practice on Wednesday.

Footballguys view: ESPN's Ben Solak wrote last week that the impending return of Mason, viewed as a co-starter before injuring his thumb, should not be underrated. Solak said the Vikings "want to do so much more in the designed running game with Kyler Murray and in the power play-action game with Mason as a bruising back." As impressive as Aaron Jones has been in Mason's absence, we should expect the two to resume sharing time with Mason back. Proactive fantasy managers should be checking Mason's availability in their leagues, and Jones investors might want to start resetting their expectations.

  Vikings | Jauan Jennings' trade market 'expected to heat up' after Harrison Jr. deal    Tue Oct 13, 01:57 PM

Vikings WR Jauan Jennings is another receiver whose trade market is expected to heat up in the wake of the Marvin Harrison Jr. trade, it was reported on The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday. A reunion with the 49ers was floated as a possibility.

Footballguys view: A seventh-round pick in 2020, Jennings gradually turned himself into a contributor for the 49ers. Jennings' best season came in 2024 when he caught 77 passes for 975 yards and six touchdowns, as a slew of injuries essentially forced him to be the team's No. 1 wide receiver. The Vikings signed Jennings with the hope that he could work as an effective secondary target behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. And yet, even with both guys missing time because of injuries, Jennings has just two catches for nine yards so far this year. Stay tuned.

  Vikings | Solak: Jordan Mason's 'impending return' shouldn't be underrated    Tue Oct 13, 01:00 PM

ESPN's Ben Solak wrote on Tuesday that the impending return of Vikings RB Jordan Mason, described as a co-starting running back, should not be underrated.

Footballguys view: Solak said the Vikings "want to do so much more in the designed running game with Murray and in the power play-action game with Mason as a bruising back." Aaron Jones Sr. has been impressive in Mason's absence, but it's fair to wonder if the workload he's seen the last three weeks is sustainable. Minnesota is on its bye in Week 6 and resumes play in Week 7. Proactive fantasy managers should be checking Mason's availability in their leagues.

Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson is in the concussion protocol, head coach Kevin O'Connell said on Monday. O'Connell said Hockenson is "feeling pretty good today," and the team will monitor him throughout the bye.

Footballguys view: With backup TE Josh Oliver (torn biceps muscle) on injured reserve, the Vikings played the rest of Sunday's game with two backups: Gavin Bartholomew and Ben Yurosek, who was activated from injured reserve this weekend. That's not ideal so that the bye couldn't have come at a better time for Hockenson and the Vikings.

Minnesota Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson caught 1 pass for 7 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 23-13 win over the New Orleans Saints. He was projected for 9.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.2.

Footballguys view: Hockenson suffered a concussion on the second play of the game against the New Orleans Saints. His head slammed into the turf after making his lone catch on the day just 38 seconds into the game. He remained on the ground for several minutes before jogging to the sideline and later the locker room for a concussion test. With backup TE Josh Oliver (torn biceps muscle) on injured reserve, the Vikings played the rest of Sunday's game with two backups: Gavin Bartholomew and Ben Yurosek, who was activated from injured reserve this weekend.

  Vikings | Jones runs for 113 yards, one TD in win over Saints    Sun Oct 11, 03:56 PM

Minnesota Vikings RB Aaron Jones Sr. ran 25 times for 113 yards and a touchdown, also caught 3 passes for 4 yards on 3 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 23-13 win over the New Orleans Saints. He was projected for 15.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 17.2.

Footballguys view: Jones actually left this game briefly with a knee injury and he will certainly welcome the rest coming during the 5-0 Vikings' bye next week. Jordan Mason should be ready to return and split the work in Week 7, but Jones should still be a weekly flex play on a defense/ball control team. He has been outstanding as a lead back playing through a knee injury under a heavy workload since Mason went out with a thumb injury after Week 1. Mason should also be added if he's on your waiver wire even if it means you have to carry him through the bye.

Footballguys view: Jones spent some time out in the first half due to a left knee that initially drew a questionable designation, but Jones returned to play the rest of the game without any apparent issues. The Vikings have a Week 6 bye, and Jordan Mason should return the following week. But Jones has played well in Mason's absence, and we expect the veteran to continue playing the primary role until further notice.

Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson (concussion) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Saints. Hockenson was injured in the first quarter and had been evaluated for a concussion before being listed as questionable to return.

Footballguys view: Hockenson posted his biggest fantasy game in years with 13 catches last week against Miami. Justin Jefferson was back this week, so Hockenson's outlook wasn't as bright, but he probably still got in some lineups as a streaming TE1, so this is a disappointment. The Vikings are on bye next week, so Hockenson may not miss an additional game due to this injury.
