Productive in 2022 Sullivan tallied career highs with 60 tackles (45 solo), seven passes defended and one fumble recovery over 17 games during the 2022 regular season.
Impact Sullivan was one of the few Vikings cornerbacks to remain healthy throughout the entire season. As a result, he played a career-high 907 defensive snaps, which was second behind only Patrick Peterson in the team's cornerbacks corps. Minnesota's defense did finish 30th in yards per attempt and 31st in total passing yards per game allowed this season. Therefore, with Sullivan set to become a free agent for the second time in as many years, it's unclear if he'll be re-signed prior to the 2023 season.

Making tackles in larger role Sullivan had nine total tackles in Sunday's overtime win at Buffalo.
Impact Sullivan, the starting slot corner, has seen a slight increase in playing time with both Cameron Dantzler on injured reserve and 2022 second-round pick Andrew Booth failing to win a larger role. He struggled in pass coverage giving up receptions on all six passes targeted his way for 70 yards but had a strong game tackling.

Absent from injury report Sullivan was not listed on the Vikings' injury report Wednesday.
Impact Sullivan is not dealing with any injury issues following Sunday's win over the Bears, in which he tallied two tackles while playing a season-low 37 defensive snaps. The 26-year-old has now played at least 75 percent of defensive snaps over his first five games with Minnesota. However, Sullivan's playing time could take a hit after rookie cornerback Andrew Booth, who has been sidelined with a quad injury since Week 1, returned to practice in full Wednesday.

Limited Wednesday Sullivan was limited during Wednesday's practice due to an undisclosed injury, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Impact Sullivan played his usual role during the Vikings' Week 5 win over the Bears, but he appears to have picked up an injury as well. The extent of the situation remains unclear, but he'll have two more opportunities to return to full participation before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Week 6.
