INJURIES

Ben Ellefson - Won't play Sunday Ellefson (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Bears.
Impact Ellefson landed on the injury report Thursday as a limited participant due to a groin injury and didn't practice Friday. His absence will leave Johnny Mundt as the only tight end on the roster behind Irv Smith, though the Vikings may elect to elevate Nick Muse from the practice squad for added depth.

Cameron Dantzler Sr. - Logs limited practice Dantzler (hip) was listed as a limited participant on the Vikings' injury report Thursday.
Impact Dantzler was limited for the first time this week with an unexpected hip injury, though the exact nature of this issue is still unknown. The 24-year-old has stepped back into a starting role this season, recording 22 tackles and four passes defended over 230 defensive snaps through four weeks. If Dantzler and fellow cornerback Andrew Booth (quadriceps) remain limited during practice Friday, then cornerback Chandon Sullivan could see an even bigger role this Sunday against the Bears.

Za'Darius Smith - Limited in practice Wednesday Smith (knee) was listed as a limited participant on the Vikings' injury report Wednesday.
Impact Smith was listed questionable before suiting up for Minnesota's Week 3 contest against New Orleans, recording one sack while playing 39 percent of the team's defensive snaps. The 30-year-old tallied eight tackles, including two sacks, while playing at least 72 percent of defensive snaps over the first three weeks of the season, so his status will be worth monitoring heading into Sunday's game against Chicago.

Andrew Booth Jr. - Returns to practice Booth (quadriceps) was listed as a limited participant on the Vikings' injury report Wednesday.
Impact Booth practiced for the first time since suffering a quad injury during the Vikings' season opener against Green Bay, leaving him sidelined over the past three weeks. The rookie second-round pick played just two special-teams snaps in Week 1, though he could have a prominent role at cornerback when healthy.

Blake Proehl - Returns to practice Wednesday Proehl (knee) was designated to return from the PUP list and returned to practice Wednesday, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.
Impact Proehl missed the entire 2021 campaign after tearing his ACL during training camp last season. He started the 2022 season on the PUP list, which sidelined him for the first four games, but he's returned to practice at the earliest possible time. Regardless, the wideout likely still has a few hurdles to clear before he'll be ready for game action. His participation in practice starts a 21-day window for him to be added to the active roster, but he if he isn't, he'll revert back to the PUP list for the remainder of the campaign.

Chiefs back on top of Colin Cowherd's 'Herd Hierarchy'
Ryan Connelly - Removed from PUP list The Vikings activated Connelly (knee) from their reserve/PUP list Tuesday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.
Impact Connelly suffered a torn ACL against the Steelers in December, and he was later placed on Minnesota's reserve/PUP list in August. The 27-year-old was required to miss the team's first four games, but he'll now be eligible to return Week 5 against the Bears. Connelly is expected to be a heavy contributor on special teams moving forward, as he's amassed 410 special teams snaps compared to just one defensive snap over the last two seasons.
OCTOBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Lewis Cine - Placed on IR The Vikings placed Cine (leg) on injured reserve Tuesday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.
Impact Cine suffered a compound fracture in his left leg during Sunday's 28-25 win over the Saints, and he's since undergone successful surgery Tuesday. Although the 22-year-old safety is eligible to return later in the year after being placed on IR, the procedure Cine underwent was presumably season-ending, meaning he'll likely target a full recovery for the 2023 season. The 199-pounder played two defensive and 34 special teams snaps across three games.

Lewis Cine - Has surgery Cine underwent successful surgery Tuesday to repair the compound fracture in his left leg, which he suffered in Sunday's win over the Saints.
Impact Cine's surgery was performed in London, where he'll remain until he's cleared to return home to Minnesota. Although a return is at least weeks, if not months away, it's good news for Cine that everything is going smoothly thus far in his recovery.
