Viking rule out right tackle Brian O'Neill after ankle injury setback He did everything in his power to make it through the game against the Green Bay Packers on New Year’s Eve.
JANUARY 6 • TWINCITIES.COM
Not ready for return O'Neill (ankle) is inactive Sunday against the Lions.
Impact O'Neill started the week with back-to-back DNPs, but he was able to close out the week with a limited practice, creating some hope he'd be able to suit up. However, the Pittsburgh product will miss a second consecutive game. David Quessenberry will likely draw the start at right tackle.

Will be ready for camp O'Neill (Achilles) will be ready for training camp, head coach Kevin O'Connell said Thursday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Impact O'Neill suffered a partially torn Achilles late last season, which required surgery. He is no longer using a walking boot and appears to be on pace to start the season healthy, where he should continue to start at right tackle for the Vikings.

Sustains partially torn Achilles O'Neill suffered a partially torn Achilles against the Packers last Sunday, and he won't return again this season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact After being placed on injured reserve Tuesday with what was originally determined to be a calf issue, O'Neill's injury has since been identified as a season-ending partially torn Achilles. Oli Udoh will now command Minnesota's starting right tackle duties in Week 18 and into the 2023 postseason.

Vikings place starting o-linemen O'Neill, Schlottman on IR
The Minnesota Vikings have placed right tackle Brian O’Neill and center Austin Schlottman on injured reserveJANUARY 3, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Shifts to injured reserve The Vikings placed O'Neill (calf) on injured reserve Tuesday, Carmen Vitali of Fox Sports reports.
Impact After already being ruled out for Week 18 due to the calf injury he suffered Sunday versus Green Bay, Minnesota has since placed O'Neill on injured reserve, so he'll miss at least the next four contests. With the Super Bowl accounting for the 310-pounder's earliest possible return date, Oli Udoh is currently in line to serve as Minnesota's starting right tackle until then.

May have significant injury O'Neill (calf) won't play Sunday against the Bears, according to head coach Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, Chris Tomasson reports.
Impact O'Neill's injury, which was suffered in Sunday's loss to the Packers, was called "significant" by O'Connell. With a playoff spot secured, his absence Sunday in Chicago may not matter much, but any potential missed time in the playoffs could. When O'Neill exited Week 17, Oli Udoh took over at right tackle, and he'd be the likely candidate to start there Week 18.

Will not return O'Neill has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Packers due to a calf injury.
Impact O'Neill's absence will certainly be a blow to the Vikings offensive line, which is already dealing with multiple injuries. Including Austin Schlottmann (ankle), who has already been forced out and was starting at center for Garrett Bradbury (back), who was inactive. Oli Udoh will now take over at right tackle.

Signs five-year extension The Vikings gave O'Neill a five-year, $92.5 million extension Wednesday, making him the second-highest paid right tackle behind Ryan Ramczyk, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact O'Neill was selected in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft and took over the starting spot by Week 6 of his rookie year. The 25-year-old gets a huge pay day before the 2021 campaign, which would've been his last under his rookie deal. He has missed just one start since taking over the starting gig and will look to continue his excellent track record of staying on the field.
