Link to story Vikings | Aaron Jones guts out 93 total yards Sun Dec 21, 08:11 PM
Minnesota Vikings RB Aaron Jones (ankle) rushed 21 times for 85 yards and caught two passes for eight yards in a 16-13 win over the New York Giants in Week 16, and Jones was playing through an ankle injury, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell.
| Footballguys view: Jones' 2025 season has already been limited by injury. He missed an entire month due to a hamstring injury. The veteran Pro Bowler entered this week with 410 rushing yards and just one touchdown on the ground. Still, with Jordan Mason suffering what appears to be a more severe injury, Jones could be asked to carry a heavy load against the Lions this week -- if he's available for a Thursday night game. Zavier Scott is also in the mix at RB here. |

Vikings | Max Brosmer forced into action Sun Dec 21, 08:05 PM
Minnesota Vikings QB Max Brosmer replaced QB J.J. McCarthy (hand) during the Week 16 game against the New York Giants. Brosmer completed seven of his nine pass attempts for 52 yards in a 16-13 win.
Link to story Vikings | JJ McCarthy ruled out for second half Sun Dec 21, 02:45 PM
Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (hand) left the Week 16 game against the New York Giants due to a hand injury. He was hurt near the end of the second quarter, going to the locker room for treatment. He has been ruled out for the remainder of the game, as QB Max Brosmer will finish up. McCarthy finished 9-of-14 for 108 yards, no touchdowns and one interception before departing.
| Footballguys view: McCarthy had actually been playing well the last few weeks, but he appeared to be in pain when the training staff was examining his hand/wrist after a Brian Burns sack turned into a Giants defensive touchdown right before the half. The Vikings will play the Lions next week and Packers in Week 18 and might have to play their undrafted rookie quarterback Brosmer, which would make it tougher to trust Justin Jefferson in fantasy lineups after the star receiver was finally clicking with McCarthy against the Giants. |
Vikings | Ryan Kelly ruled out with concussion Sun Dec 21, 02:44 PM
Minnesota Vikings C Ryan Kelly (concussion) left the Week 16 game against the New York Giants due to concussion, and he has been ruled out for the second half.
Link to story Vikings | Aaron Jones back on field Sun Dec 21, 02:06 PM
Updating a previous report, Minnesota Vikings RB Aaron Jones (ankle) was able to return to the Week 16 game after missing some time because of an ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Kevin O'Connell said Jones played through an ankle injury. His 2025 season has already been limited by injury. Jones missed an entire month due to a hamstring injury. The veteran Pro Bowler entered this week with 410 rushing yards and just one touchdown on the ground.

Vikings | Jordan Mason ruled out Sun Dec 21, 01:34 PM
Updating a previous report, Minnesota Vikings RB Jordan Mason (ankle) will not return to the Week 16 game because of his ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: Given how quickly he was ruled out, we probably won't see Mason again this season. The Vikings have two divisional games left against Detroit and Green Bay that are much more important for their opponents. Aaron Jones left briefly with an ankle injury. If he's ok for Week 17, he'll be a more attractive flex play with Mason sidelined. |

Vikings | Jalen Nailor should play Fri Dec 19, 05:20 PM
Minnesota Vikings WR Jalen Nailor (back) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 19, and is not on the injury report for Week 16.
| Footballguys view: Nailor is coming off a two-touchdown game, tempting fantasy managers to start him this week against the Giants. However, aside from those two games, he has not contributed much in fantasy this year. He is an extremely risky start, falling into our WR5 range. |

Vikings | J.J. McCarthy accounts for three TDs in Dallas Mon Dec 15, 12:06 AM
Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy completed 15 of 24 passes for 250 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception versus the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15. McCarthy also ran the ball four times for 15 yards and a score.
| Footballguys view: McCarthy was far from perfect, but he made more impactful throws than in any of his previous seven starts. As ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert noted, the Vikings' offense is built on chunk plays in the passing game, something McCarthy had not delivered in volume. But he completed five passes that traveled at least 15 yards in the air Sunday night, including a 58-yard throw to Jordan Addison and a 20-yard touchdown to Jalen Nailor. His 250 passing yards are a career high. The Vikings face the Giants in Week 16. |
