Nick Muse - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Lands on short-term IR The Vikings placed Muse (hand) on injured reserve Wednesday, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact Head coach Kevin O'Connell said Muse suffered a minor hand fracture during Sunday's win over the 49ers, during his recovery of an onside kick. The depth tight end will need to spend at least four games on IR, making his earliest possible return date Oct. 24 versus the Rams.

Past injury Muse (undisclosed) was left off the Vikings' injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's Week 1 matchup with the Giants.

Impact Muse was dealing with an undisclosed injury toward the end of August, but it now appears that he's moved past the issue. The third-year tight end out of South Carolina is expected to serve primarily as a special-teamer in 2024, as he did in the last two seasons.

SEPTEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with undisclosed injury Muse has not practiced in recent weeks with an undisclosed injury, The Athletic reports.

Impact Muse appeared set to win the No. 3 tight end role, but he's now dealing with an injury and Robert Tonyan returned to practice. Muse had a strong first two preseason games, but now his status for Week 1 in in question.

AUGUST 25 • ROTOWIRE

Making case for roster spot Muse had three receptions for 19 yards on three targets in Saturday's preseason win over Cleveland.

Impact Muse appears set to win a roster spot with Robert Tonyan still out with a back injury. Muse could factor into the offense early in the season as a second or third receiving tight end if T.J. Hockenson misses games while working his way back from a torn ACL.

Impact The Vikings needed a third tight end and did have an empty roster spot. Muse has been active for the three games this season, but he's played a total of two offensive snaps and 20 total during that stretch.

Returns to practice squad The Vikings reverted Muse to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Minnesota elevated Muse for the second time this season prior to Sunday's Week 9 win over the Commanders. Though the 23-year-old didn't log any snaps on offense, he did see four special-teams snaps. Even if he's elevated again, Muse is unlikely to see much (if any) work on offense with T.J. Hockenson and Johnny Mundt ahead of him on the depth chart.

Bumped up to active roster Muse was elevated from the Vikings' practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders.

Impact Muse will be elevated for the second time this season, the first of which came in Week 5. He played only two snaps and will have a minimal role on offense behind T.J. Hockenson and Johnny Mundt.

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice squad Muse reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Muse received the promotion with Ben Ellefson out with a groin injury. The rookie tight end played six snaps on special teams, but he did not record any stats. With Ellefson now on IR, it's possible Muse could be elevated to the active roster in Week 6 against the Dolphins.

OCTOBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated to active roster The Vikings elevated Muse on Saturday from their practice squad to their active roster for Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Impact Muse, a rookie seventh-round pick, caught four passes for 40 yards during the preseason and landed a spot on the Vikings' practice squad after going unclaimed through waivers at the end of August. Minnesota recently placed Ben Ellefson (groin) on injured reserve, so Muse will compete with Johnny Mundt for backup snaps behind Irv Smith.
