Minnesota Vikings

  • OLB Jonathan Greenard, Shoulder, DNP, OUT
  • C Ryan Kelly, Concussion, Limited, OUT

For the Vikings, just two players with injury designations- Jonathan Greenard and Ryan Kelly both being ruled out for the Bears game. There appeared to be some hope early in the week that Greenard may be able to play on Sunday, but that chance declined each day he didn’t practice. He didn’t practice again on...

2025 NFL Week 11: Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings

2025 NFL Week 11: Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings will complete their first home-and-home series of the 2025 season with one of their NFC North division rivals when they host the Chicago Bears at U.S. Bank Stadium in Week 11 NFL action.

These two teams met to start the season at Soldier Field on Monday Night Football. The Bears took a 17-6 lead into the fourth quarter of play, but the Vikings stormed back behind three fourth-quarter touchdowns, all coming courtesy of J.J. McCarthy. He had two touchdown passes what proved to be the game-winning score with a rushing touchdown as the Vikings pulled off a...

Looking Back, Moving Forward

Looking Back, Moving Forward

LOOKING BACK: SEE RAKE, STEP ON RAKE

The Vikings came back to U.S. Bank Stadium and immediately did their trademark move of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

If you had told me we’d hold Lamar Jackson to 212 total yards and a single touchdown, and Derrick Henry to 75 yards on the ground at 3.8 yards per carry, I’d confidently say that we’d be sitting at 5-4 right now.

Then someone would remind me that I’m indeed a fan of the Minnesota Vikings, and calmer heads would prevail. I’d default to the usual skepticism and wonder how we...

Minnesota Vikings News and Links: Vikings Must Win This Week!

Minnesota Vikings News and Links: Vikings Must Win This Week!

The Ravens game is getting analyzed to death. It was an awful performance with some bright spots. The biggest issue for me is the accuracy of JJ McCarthy. That is the one area that needs to improve as soon as possible. He is still young and does not have many snaps under his belt but you want to hope he would be more accurate. He does have some really great throws though. This gives hope for the future. I suspect he will continue to get better and better every game even if he is inaccurate or throws picks. Every experience...

Vikes Views: Which QB Would You Take?

Vikes Views: Which QB Would You Take?

The Minnesota Vikings will host the Chicago Bears on Sunday, aiming to sweep the season series. After starting 0-2, the Bears have won 6 of their last 7. They’re currently in second place in the NFC North and have a realistic shot at taking the top spot with a win this week. The Detroit Lions are heading to Philadelphia to take on the defending champion Eagles.

The Bears and the Vikings both chose their next, hopefully, franchise QBs in the 2024 draft. The Bears with the #1 overall pick chose Caleb Williams over Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, Bo Nix, and...

Vikings Open Practice Window for C Ryan Kelly

Vikings Open Practice Window for C Ryan Kelly

It looks like the Minnesota Vikings could be getting another significant part of their offense back from the injured reserve list.

On Wednesday, the Vikings opened the window for center Ryan Kelly. Kelly, who the Vikings signed to a two-year contract this offseason to replace the departed Garrett Bradbury, has been limited to just three games this season due to concussion issues.

Kelly, who had a history of concussion issues during his time with the Indianapolis Colts, has suffered two concussions so far this season. The first game in the Vikings’ Week 2 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, which caused...

Insight into J.J. McCarthy’s Performance After Four Games

Insight into J.J. McCarthy’s Performance After Four Games

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy has completed his first four games in the NFL. That’s not a big sample size for any sort of definitive judgment about McCarthy- usually around game 25 is when you might begin to form some conclusions about the trajectory of a young quarterback, but even then it may be too early depending on the circumstances- like with Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield. But while we may not have a good idea about McCarthy’s trajectory until after next season, assuming he’s healthy for the remainder of this season and next, we can begin to look at...
