Irv Smith Jr. - Progressing, but still out Week 16 Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Thursday that Smith (ankle) is progressing, but the tight end will remain on injured reserve for Saturday's game against the Giants, Andrew...

Impact O'Connell remains optimistic that the tight end will play again this season, but until the Vikings designate him for return from injured reserve, Smith won't be eligible to practice with the team and will continue to rehab off to the side. If Smith is able to make it back for Week 17 or 18 games against the Packers and Bears, respectively, he would likely be in store for a limited role behind top tight end T.J. Hockenson, whom the Vikings acquired shortly after Smith suffered his high-ankle sprain Oct. 30.

Impact Bradbury will miss his third consecutive game as he works to recover from a lingering back injury. Austin Schlottman should draw another start at center in Bradbury's absence.

Cameron Dantzler Sr. - Status up in the air for Week 16 Dantzler (ankle) is considered questionable to play Saturday against the Giants.

Impact Dantzler popped up as a limited participant Wednesday with what Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said was a tweaked ankle, according to Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. However, O'Connell refrained from saying that cornerback Duke Shelley would start over Dantzler, per Tomasson. Therefore, it will be worth monitoring Minnesota's inactives list for more clarity ahead of Saturday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Eric Kendricks - Questionable to play Saturday Kendricks (hip) is considered as questionable for Saturday's game against the Giants.

Impact Kendricks picked up a hip contusion during the Vikings' comeback overtime win against Indianapolis last Saturday, which left him limited during the first two practices of Week 16 prep. However, the 30-year-old was able to log a full session Thursday, according to Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio, so it appears the linebacker could be closer to playing than sitting out against the Giants. Kendricks has already accumulated his second-most tackles in a season with 119 over 14 games in 2022, so his availability could be a big factor against New York's run-centric offense.

The former All-Pro will now have two more chances to partake in Week 16 prep before Minnesota would be forced to tag him with an injury designation heading into Saturday's matchup against the Giants.

On Monday, O'Connell noted to Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune an expectation that Jefferson would be able to practice all week ahead of Saturday's game against the Giants. With no limitations at all to kick off Week 16 prep, Jefferson appears set to resume his standing as the Vikings' top wide receiver.
