Titans vs. Vikings Injury Report – Week 11, 2024
See who's in and who's out for the Week 11 matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and Tennessee Titans on November 17, 2024.NOVEMBER 13 • DATA SKRIVE
Josh Oliver - Limited Wednesday Oliver (wrist) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Impact Oliver was dealing with a wrist injury last month, so perhaps he's not quite over the issue. He's coming off back-to-back strong games, with a combined 9-110-1 receiving line on 11 targets over the last two weeks. Oliver still isn't worth chasing in standard-sized fantasy leagues.
NOVEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Andrew Van Ginkel - Limited Wednesday Van Ginkel (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Impact Van Ginkel recorded three total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, across 39 defensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Jaguars, but it appears he picked up a hip injury in the process. The Wisconsin product likely needs to upgrade to at least limited participation in practice Thursday or Friday in order to suit up in Week 11, when the Vikings travel to Tennessee.
NOVEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Sam Darnold - Dealing with hand issue Darnold was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a right hand injury.
Impact Darnold offered up sterling quarterback play through the first four weeks of the campaign, tallying an 11:3 TD:INT and completing 68.9 percent of his passes. In five games since then, his completion percent (68.4) is nearly the same, but he's fallen off to a 6:7 TD:INT during that stretch. Darnold now is dealing with a health concern, and to his throwing hand to boot, so even if he doesn't miss any time, his accuracy could take a hit in the short term.
NOVEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Jones - Officially limited Wednesday Jones (ribs) practice on a limited basis Wednesday.
Impact As expected, Jones is opening Week 11 prep with a capped session due to the rib issue that forced him to miss about a quarter of action this past Sunday at Jacksonville. Coach Kevin O'Connell told Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune on Wednesday that Jones "will progress" as the week continues, so a full practice seems likely for the running back Thursday and/or Friday.

J.J. McCarthy - Undergoes another surgery McCarthy underwent a procedure on his right knee this week after an increase in his rehab caused some swelling, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
Impact In the wake of a successful preseason debut back on Aug. 10, McCarthy reported soreness in his right knee, and he eventually was diagnosed with a torn meniscus, which required surgery on Aug. 14. Considering he was placed on IR before cut-down day, the rookie first-round pick isn't eligible to play this season, so getting him right now will be key as he heads into his first full offseason as a pro. In the meantime, the Vikings will continue to entrust the offense in QB Sam Darnold.
NOVEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Andrew Van Ginkel - Logs sack in win Van Ginkel recorded three tackles (three solo), with 1.0 sack, during the Vikings' win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
Impact Van Ginkel's strong season continues as he's already matched his career-high total of 6.0 sacks in only nine games played. The 29-year-old will look to keep producing and add to his totals during the team's Week 11 matchup versus the Titans.

Byron Murphy Jr. - Nabs another pick in Week 10 Murphy recorded one solo tackle and one interception in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Jaguars.
Impact Murphy has now nabbed a pick in each of the Vikings' last three games, intercepting Mac Jones in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win. The second-year Viking is currently on pace for his best season in Minnesota, having recorded 40 total tackles and eight passes defended, including four interceptions, through nine appearances this season. He's expected to continue starting alongside Shaquill Griffin and Stephon Gilmore as part of the Vikings' top cornerback trio in Week 11's matchup against the Titans.
NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Camryn Bynum - Picks off Jones in Week 10 Bynum recorded three total tackles (one solo) and one interception in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Jaguars.
Impact Bynum had a crucial interception in the Vikings' Week 10 win, picking off Mac Jones in the fourth quarter as the Jaguars appeared to be mounting a game-winning drive. The fourth-year pro has now started all nine of the Vikings' games this season, recording 51 total tackles and eight passes defended, including three interceptions. He's expected to continue making plays as the Vikings travel to Tennessee in Week 12.
NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Ivan Pace Jr. - Does it all in win Pace recorded five total tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks and an additional tackle for loss, in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Jaguars.
Impact Pace tied Blake Cashman, Stephon Gilmore and Josh Metellus as the Vikings' leading tackler in Sunday's win, despite it being his lowest tackle output of the season. The second-year pro has now appeared in seven games this season, recording 55 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks. Expect Pace to continue starting alongside Cashman as part of the Vikings' top inside linebacker duo as the season progresses.
NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Blake Cashman - Fills stat sheet vs. Jags Cashman recorded five total tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks and an additional tackle for loss, in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Jaguars.
Impact Cashman tied three other Vikings as the team's leading tackler in Sunday's win, and he also brought down Mac Jones in the second quarter for his second sack of the season. The Minnesota product has now tallied 45 total tackles and five passes defended through six appearances this season. He's expected to remain one of Minnesota's top tacklers as the Vikings travel to Tennessee in Week 12.

The Vikings are still winning despite Sam Darnold's recent spate of interceptions
The roller-coaster ride for the Minnesota Vikings with Sam Darnold at quarterback has reached a midseason dipNOVEMBER 11 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Johnny Mundt - Minimal role on offense Mundt did not have a target or reception in Sunday's win at Jacksonville.
Impact Mundt played just 18 snaps on offense and went out on three routes, as he's moved to a small role with the return of T. J. Hockenson from a knee injury.
NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Trent Sherfield Sr. - Minimal role on offense Sherfield had one reception for 11 yards in Sunday's win at Jacksonville.
Impact Sherfield played on 11 of the offense's 84 snaps as he's been working as the No. 4 receiver. He's going to have a small role in the offense as long as the top three receivers are healthy and with T.J. Hockenson back to full speed.
NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Nailor - Three targets in win Nailor had one reception for 11 yards on three targets in Sunday's win at Jacksonville.
Impact Nailor played on 42 of the offense's 84 snaps as he works as the No. 3 receiver. However, he may not get many targets with T.J. Hockenson returning and back to full speed.
NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Oliver - Surprising bigger role in win Oliver had four receptions for 52 yards on six targets in Sunday's win at Jacksonville.
Impact Oliver had a large role in the passing game even with T.J. Hockensen back and playing at full speed. Since Oliver is primarily a blocking tight end, it's hard to think his run the last two weeks (nine receptions for 110 yards) will continue especially as Hockensen gets even more integrated into the offense.
NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Ty Chandler - Gets limited role on offense Chandler had four carries for 18 yards in Sunday's win at Jacksonville.
Impact Chandler had played just two snaps on offense the previous two weeks after Cam Akers took over the backup running back role. Chandler only got on the field after Aaron Jones missed time late in the game due to a rib injury. Chandler could get some time on offense this week at Tennessee if Jones misse times or is limited with the rib issue.
NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Cam Akers - Gets 13 carries in win Akers has 13 carries for 38 yards and one reception for nine yards in Sunday's win at Jacksonville.
Impact Akers played on 26 of the offense's 84 snaps as he got extra playing time late in the game when Aaron Jones missed time with sore ribs. It sounds like Jones won't miss time with the injury, but he could be limited or the Vikings may want to play it safe with his usage this week at Tennessee. Akers could be set for more work as a result.
NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Jones - May have practice limitations Coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that Jones (ribs) may be limited in practice this week but believes the running back will be available for Sunday's game at Tennessee, Kevin Seife...
Impact Jones missed about a quarter of action in the second half of Sunday's win in Jacksonville due to a chest injury but got back into the contest late in the fourth quarter. During his time off the field, he underwent X-rays that were returned negative, per Seifert. O'Connell called Jones' health concern a rib issue Monday, so pain tolerance likely will be the running back's main impediment in the short term.
