Minnesota Vikings

DeeJay Dallas

RB

Dallas notched just eight offensive snaps but also contributed 19 snaps on special teams. The veteran running back went without a carry for the fourth time over Minnesota's past five games, indicating his lack of a role in the running game. Overall this season, Dallas has been a very small part of the Vikings' offense, recording four carries for 14 yards and five catches for 36 yards (on five targets) through eight contests.

Myles Price

WR

Price wasn't the only Minnesota pass catcher who logged an inefficient line, as starting quarterback Carson Wentz completed just eight of 25 pass attempts. Price did make an impact in the return game by averaging 31.0 yards on his four kickoff returns. Price's role continues to be mostly centered on special teams, as he's caught just four passes for 32 yards on 11 targets through eight games.

Will Reichard

PK

After missing his lone field-goal attempt in Week 8 against the Lions, Reichard bounced back Monday to connect on field goals from 43 and 53 yards in the second quarter, which ended up being the only points that the Vikings scored. Reichard's 20 made field goals through eight regular-season games is tied for fourth-most in the NFL, and his seven makes from 50-plus yards is tied with Ka'imi Fairbairn for second behind Spencer Shrader (eight). The Vikings are 6-2 despite their struggles on offense this season, but the acquisition of Kirk Cousins from the Raiders on Tuesday should elevate Richard's week-to-week scoring potential. Minnesota will travel to Lambeau Field for Week 10 against Green Bay on Nov. 15.

Kyler Murray

QB

doubtful

Max Brosmer

QB

Brosmer replaced Carson Wentz in the fourth quarter of Monday night's game after the offense failed to produce a touchdown drive. Week 9 was Brosmer's first appearance in a 2026 regular-season game. He will likely play a similar backup role behind newly acquired Kirk Cousins as the season progresses, at least until Kyler Murray returns from a hamstring injury.

Odell Beckham Jr.

WR

Signed off the practice squad ahead of Monday's game against the Bills, Beckham made his Vikings debut in the 23-6 loss, going without a target while playing just two snaps on offense. He'll end up giving up his spot on the 53-man roster just one day later after the Vikings brought in quarterback Kirk Cousins in a trade with the Raiders prior to the deadline, but Beckham won't be without a home for long. Per Tom Pelissero of Netflix, Beckham is expected to re-sign with the Vikings' practice squad and will be eligible to be elevated for three games.

Jauan Jennings

WR

questionable

Caleb Banks

DT

Charles Demmings

Jakobe Thomas

Jordan Addison

WR

Addison finished third in receptions and receiving yards on the night for a low-volume Vikings passing game, and his final catch, which went for 16 yards, came on Minnesota's last drive from the arm of Max Brosmer. Carson Wentz's game-long ineffectiveness depressed the production of the air attack as a whole, but Addison would be in better position to boost his numbers if Kyler Murray (hamstring) is able to return for Sunday's Week 10 road matchup against the Packers.

Aaron Jones Sr.

RB

Jones and backfield mate Jordan Mason combined for just 11 carries on an abysmal night for the Vikings offense, and the latter was much more efficient than Jones by averaging 5.8 yards per carry on his six totes. Jones now has seen his rushing yardage totals drop in three straight games, and Mason's return from injured reserve has played a role in the former seeing just 18 total carries in the last three contests. Jones retains a very modest outlook for a Week 10 road matchup against his old Packers teammates Sunday.

Jordan Mason

RB

Mason was markedly more efficient than backfield mate Aaron Jones with his opportunities, averaging 5.8 yards per carry compared to the latter's 3.2. Both backs' touches were limited due to game script, however, but Mason's YPC was an encouraging figure. The veteran back next takes aim at the Packers defense in a Week 10 road matchup on Sunday.

T.J. Hockenson

TE

In addition to leading the Vikings in receptions, Hockenson finished second in receiving yardage and targets in a rough performance by Minnesota's offense. The veteran wideout has hauled in exactly four catches in four straight games, though he snapped a two-game TD streak Monday. It remains to be seen who will be throwing passes for Minnesota next Sunday in Green Bay, as Carson Wentz struggled enormously Monday and Kyler Murray currently is dealing with a Grade 2 hamstring strain.

Carson Wentz

QB

Wentz had typically put together competent performances in his opportunities to lead head coach Kevin O'Connell's offense in the past, but Monday night was a clear exception. Wentz took only one sack, but he banged up his right hand on a first-half pass attempt, then had his foot stepped on by offensive lineman Joe Huber in the second half, the latter of which required a visit to the medical tent. Wentz also repeatedly failed to master what had been a vulnerable Bills pass defense, averaging a minuscule 3.2 yards per attempt. He tossed interceptions on back-to-back drives to open the second half as well, and although they only led to one field goal for Buffalo, they were indicative of the kind of night it was for the veteran signal-caller. Wentz ultimately was pulled for Max Brosmer for the Vikings' final drive, and if Murray can't suit up for a Week 10 road showdown with the Packers on Sunday, it remains to be seen if Wentz will get another crack at a starting assignment.

Justin Jefferson

WR

Jefferson led the Vikings in receiving yards and targets, but the insertion of Carson Wentz at quarterback in place of Kyler Murray (hamstring) led to a very inefficient night for the star receiver. Jefferson's final catch of the night, which went for a 19-yard gain, came on a pass from Max Brosmer, so Jefferson secured just two of the 10 targets that an ineffective Wentz sent his way. Jefferson has been having a generally quiet season even when working with Murray -- he doesn't have any 100-yard games and has posted Monday night's yardage total or less in five of seven games -- but his outlook would be brighter if Murray can return for Sunday's Week 10 road showdown against the Packers.

Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins

DE

Levi Drake Rodriguez, Elijah Williams and Jalen Redmond will handle more of the defensive-line duties with Ingram-Dawkins sidelined.

Kyle Van Noy

LB

Van Noy was briefly sidelined with a calf injury in the first quarter, but he has now returned to action. The 35-year-old will continue to operate in his primary reserve role at weak-side linebacker versus the Bills.

Demond Claiborne

RB

ir

Theo Jackson

S

Jackson did not practice Thursday and Friday. While he practiced in a limited capacity Saturday, it still wasn't enough to avoid a questionable designation. However, Jackson has since been upgraded and is ready to go versus the Bills.

Jay Ward

S

Andrew Van Ginkel

LB

Van Ginkel was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday but was able to upgrade to full participation Saturday. He's thus clear to suit up on Monday Night Football against the Bills. That's a big deal for the Vikings in their quest to slow down Josh Allen, as Van Ginkel leads the team with 6.5 sacks through seven games.

Christian Darrisaw

OT

Darrisaw began Week 9 prep with a limited session Thursday, but he was able to log a full session Friday. As such, he should be good to go for Monday's matchup against Buffalo.
