The Minnesota Vikings have had a very disappointing season so far in 2025, but they got a bit of a reprieve with a 34-26 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football in Week 15. However, even the wins this year for the Vikings have come with caveats.

On Sunday night, it was the loss of star pass rusher Jonathan Greenard. Greenard left the game with a shoulder injury on Sunday, and the injury will require surgery that will end his 2025 season, according to ESPN’s Kevin Seifert.

Head coach Kevin O’Connell announced the news on Monday.

“I just want to say, as a captain and leader, he’s had a huge impact,” O’Connell said, via Alec Lewis of The Athletic.

Greenard has been one of the best pass rushers in football over the last three seasons, eclipsing the 12-sack threshold in both 2023 and 2024. However, he has just three sacks in 12 games this season as he has battled through nagging injuries, including this shoulder problem that he re-aggravated in Week 15.

This story will be updated.
