Minnesota Vikings

Justin Jefferson

WR

Jefferson has yet to log any on-field reps since suffering an ankle injury in the first half of this past Sunday's win at Tampa Bay. He thus will have just one more chance to mix into drills Friday, at which point he'll likely receive a game designation ahead of a Week 4 matchup with the Dolphins.

Joshua Metellus

S

Metellus logged the second-most tackles on Minnesota behind Eric Wilson (11). One of his stops was an assisted sack of Baker Mayfield on the first play of the fourth quarter. Metellus has played every defensive snap for the Vikings so far this season and has racked up 20 tackles and two pass defenses through three contests.

Isaiah Rodgers

CB

Minnesota led by seven points late in the fourth quarter when Rodgers picked off rookie Jalon Daniels on a last-second heave that drifted just short of the end zone. It was Rodgers' first interception of the season and the fifth of his six-year career. The veteran cornerback emerged as a key starter for Minnesota last season and has played nearly every defensive snap for the team so far in 2026.

Eric Wilson

LB

Wilson not only led Minnesota with 10 stops, he was also responsible for 1.5 of the team's six total sacks. The veteran linebacker recorded a career-high 6.5 sacks across 17 regular-season games with the Vikings last year, as he's benefitted statistically from being in defensive coordinator Brian Flores' blitz-happy system. Wilson also surpassed 100 tackles for the second time in his career last year and is on pace to do so again in 2026 with 20 stops through three contests.

Blake Cashman

LB

Cashman has begun the week with consecutive limited practices after apparently hurting his elbow during this past Sunday's win over Tampa Bay. The veteran defender has gotten off to a superb start to the campaign, recording 2.5 sacks among 25 total tackles through three games. Cashman may need to practice in full Friday to avoid getting an injury designation heading into the weekend.
