INJURIES

Ivan Pace Jr. - DNP to open week Pace (ankle) did not participate in the Vikings' walkthrough Wednesday.
Impact Pace was held out of the Vikings' Week 3 win over the Texans due to ankle and quadriceps injuries. He appears to be over the quadriceps issue, but his ankle injury is lingering enough for him to be held out of Wednesday's walkthrough. Pace will have two more chances at seeing the field ahead of Minnesota's Week 4 game against Green Bay.

Josh Oliver - Nursing wrist injury Oliver (wrist) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Impact Oliver played 37 snaps (30 on offense, seven on special teams) in the Vikings' Week 3 win over the Texans, though it appears the 2019 third-round pick may have sustained a wrist injury during the game. He'll have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation ahead of Week 4 against the Packers.
SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE
Sam Darnold - Listed as full Wednesday Darnold (knee) was a full participant at Wednesday's walkthrough.
Impact Darnold emerged from Sunday's win against the Texans with a bone bruise in his left knee. When speaking to the media Wednesday, he said he's taking the injury "one day at a time" and also had a sleeve on his left leg, according to Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com. With an uncapped session under his belt, Darnold seemingly is good to go for Sunday's contest at Green Bay, but whether or not he has WR Jordan Addison (ankle), who was limited Wednesday, at his disposal for the first time since Week 1 remains to be seen.
SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Addison - Officially limited Wednesday Addison (ankle) was listed as limited on the Vikings' first Week 4 injury report Wednesday.
Impact Coach Kevin O'Connell told Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com that Addison was a candidate to take part in Wednesday's walkthrough, which has come to pass. Addison is working his way back from a sprained right ankle that he suffered Week 1, and his return to the practice field is the first step as the team ramps up for Sunday's visit to Green Bay. Whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation for that contest will be revealed when Minnesota posts its final report of Week 4 on Friday.

Jordan Addison - To participate in walkthrough Coach Kevin O'Connell said Wednesday he expects Addison (ankle) to be listed as at least a partial participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com report...
Impact O'Connell said Addison will "hopefully" be able to return to action for Sunday's road matchup against Green Bay, per Seifert. It sounds like the second-year wideout will ultimately be listed as 'limited' on Wednesday's official injury report, which would represent an upgrade after he missed three straight practices Week 3 en route to being ruled out versus the Texans. Addison has missed back-to-back games but if he can return Week 4 he stands to primarily eat into the role of Jalen Nailor, who scored in both contests Addison has been sidelined.

On Football: Plenty of parity in the NFL through 3 weeks

Six winless teams earned their first wins of the season
SEPTEMBER 24 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jonathan Bullard - Two tackles for loss in win Bullard had two tackles and two tackles for a loss in Sunday's win over Houston.
Impact Bullard started at left defensive end and played on 23 of the defense's 67 snaps. Despite being a starter, he's playing 40% of the snaps on defense through three games as part of the defensive line rotation.
SEPTEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
Akayleb Evans - Limited to special teams Evans was limited to 15 snaps on special teams in Sunday's win over Houston. He did not play a snap on defense.
Impact After starting 15 games and playing 832 snaps on defense last season, Evans has been relegated to a special teams role. He's played just three snaps on defense this season.
SEPTEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
Brian Asamoah II - Gets limited time on defense Asamoah had one total tackle and played on 13 of the defense's 67 snaps in Sunday's win over Houston.
Impact Asamoah didn't play on defense the first two games, but got some playing time with Ivan Pace sidelined with a quad injury. He mostly gets his playing time on special teams as a backup interior linebacker.
SEPTEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
Harrison Phillips - Deflects pass for INT in win Phillips had one total tackle and blocked a pass attempt at the line that turned into an interception for Kamu Grugier-Hill in Sunday's win over Houston.
Impact Phillips is disruptive on the defensive line but that doesn't often result in sacks or tackle stats as the team's starting nose tackle.

QB Stock Market Week 4: Aaron Rodgers looks rejuvenated. Where’s Patrick Mahomes’ mojo?
Jordan Addison - Coach hopeful about Week 4 status Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that he's "optimistic" Addison (ankle) will be available to play Sunday in Green Bay, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune...
Impact While O'Connell's comments offer some encouragement, Addison's practice activity during the upcoming week will ultimately determine whether or not the receiver suits up against the Packers. Addison missed both of the Vikings' last two games after spraining his right ankle in the season-opening win over the Giants, and he has yet to take any practice reps since sustaining the injury.
SEPTEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
Justin Jefferson - No concern about hand injury Head coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that the Vikings have no concern about Jefferson's availability for Sunday's game against the Packers after the receiver jammed his finger in...
Impact The jammed finger may have contributed to Jefferson's pair of drops on his lone targets in the second half of the 34-7 win over the Texans, though he produced well enough in the first two quarters (six catches for 81 yards and a touchdown on six targets) to satisfy fantasy managers. Though Jefferson was sent in for X-rays after the game, the scans revealed no fractures to any of his fingers. He may be dealing with some discomfort, but the jammed finger shouldn't affect his practice participation or his playing time and usage in Week 4.

NFL uniforms: Who has the best look in each conference?
Kamu Grugier-Hill - Has interception in win Grugier-Hill had three total tackles, two pass defensed and an interception in Sunday's win over Houston.
Impact Grugier-Hill played on 21 of the defense's 67 snaps as he got work as a reserve interior linebacker with Ivan Pace out with a quad injury. Grugier-Hill was limited to special teams the first two games.
SEPTEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
Shaq Griffin - Three tackles in win Griffin had three total tackles and a pass defensed in Sunday's win over Houston.
Impact Griffin played on 47 of the defense's 67 snaps as he's getting significant playing time as the third cornerback in dime packages (the Vikings mostly use three safeties in their base configuration).
SEPTEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
Jerry Tillery - Knocks down another pass attempt Tillery started at left defensive end and had one pass defensed and one QB hit, but did not have a tackle, in Sunday's win over Houston.
Impact Tillery played on 30 of the defense's 67 snaps. He's knocked down two passes on the line in three games. Tillery is mostly a run stuffer who has just 12.5 sacks in six prior seasons.
SEPTEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
Jay Ward - Limited role on defense Ward had one total tackle and a QB hit in Sunday's win over Houston.
Impact Ward played on just nine of the defense's 67 snaps as he has a reserve safety role. He could get more playing time if the Vikings limit Harrison Smith's snaps later this season to keep him fresh.
