Back with Vikings Minnesota is re-signing Bullard on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Restored to active roster The Vikings activated Bullard (biceps) from injured reserve Saturday.
Impact Bullard has missed the past four games while on IR with a biceps injury. The 29-year-old was then designated to return to practice Thursday, and he's now set to play again at the earliest possible opportunity heading into Sunday's regular-season finale versus Chicago. With James Lynch still sitting out Week 18 due to a shoulder injury, Bullard should be first in line for additional reps behind starting defensive ends Dalvin Tomlinson and Harrison Phillips.

Back at practice Wednesday Bullard (biceps) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Impact Bullard has been on injured reserve since Dec. 10 while nursing a biceps injury, but the defensive end was back at practice Wednesday. The 29-year-old has compiled 23 tackles over 11 games this season, and, when healthy, he could step right back into a significant role on the defensive line with James Lynch (shoulder) banged up and uncertain for the postseason.

Going to IR Minnesota placed Bullard (biceps) on its injured reserve list Saturday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Impact Bullard sustained a biceps injury during the Vikings' win versus the Jets in Week 13, and he'll now be forced to miss at least the next four games as he recovers. James Lynch should see an expanded role on the defensive line in Bullard's absence.
DECEMBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play Sunday Bullard (biceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Lions.
Impact Bullard suffered a biceps injury during the team's Week 13 win over the Jets, and while he's avoided surgery, the veteran defensive end is still expected to miss some time, though there's optimism he'll return soon, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. In his absence, James Lynch and Dalvin Tomlinson are candidates for increased snaps.
DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Optimism around return this year Bullard suffered a biceps injury in Sunday's win over the Jets, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Bullard is not expected to need surgery on the biceps, making it possible that he can return to the field in the near future. That being said, he will undergo additional tests, and regardless of result, seems unlikely to be available for Week 14 versus the Lions. In his absence, James Lynch and Dalvin Tomlinson will likely see upticks in usage.

Forced out with injury Bullard (elbow) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jets.
Impact Bullard picked up an elbow injury at some point during the first half, though the nature of this issue is still unclear. The 29-year-old has played a consistent rotational role for Minnesota this season, logging 23 tackles on his 281 defensive snaps over 10 games. With Bullard out for the time being, James Lynch and Dalvin Tomlinson will serve as the team's only available defensive ends.

Impact The 29-year-old was labeled questionable due to the illness and will miss his first game of 2022. Bullard has played a rotational role in Minnesota's defensive line rotation, and his absence should provide James Lynch and Ross Blacklock with more playing time.
