  • Vikings' Dallas Turner: Doesn't practice Thursday

    Turner (knee) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

    Turner is considered day-to-day due to a knee injury he sustained during the Vikings' Week 2 win over the 49ers. Turner has logged back-to-back DNP's to start the week, but he'll have one more chance to see the field Friday. If he's unable to play Sunday against the Texans, then Pat Jones would likely see more defensive snaps as a rotational pass rusher.

  • Vikings' Andrew Van Ginkel: Full practice participant Thursday

    Van Ginkel (foot) practiced in full Thursday.

    Van Ginkel opened the week as a limited practice participant Wednesday, but he was able to go through drills without restrictions Thursday. Barring any setbacks, he should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Texans. The 2019 fifth-round pick has tallied eight tackles (six solo), including 2.0 sacks, and a pick-six over the first two games of the regular season.

  • Vikings' Justin Jefferson: No concern for Week 3 availability

    Jefferson (quadricep) remained a limited participant in practice Thursday for the second day in a row, but he said afterward that he "for sure" plans to play Sunday against the Texans, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

    Jefferson is tending to a bruised right quad in the aftermath of Sunday's win over the 49ers, but he said his body feels "great," and he's continuing to work with the Minnesota training staff to ensure he's in optimal condition by the weekend. A blowout win over the Giants in Week 2 and the injury in Week 2 have played a part in limiting Jefferson to six and seven targets in those respective contests, but he still ranks in the top five in the NFL in both receiving yards (192) and receiving touchdowns (two) through the first two weeks of the season.

  • Vikings' Aaron Jones: Full practice Thursday

    Jones (hip) practiced fully Thursday.

    Jones made a surprise appearance on the Vikings' first Week 3 injury report as limited due to a hip issue, but it ultimately won't stop him from being available Sunday against the Texans. Through two games, he's ceded occasional backfield reps to Ty Chandler, with Jones seeing 30 touches to the latter's 21. The breakdown seemingly has been instituted to keep Jones as healthy as possible due to his cluttered medical chart, but he'll continue to have the upper hand on Chandler as long as he's available.

  • Vikings' Jordan Addison: Official DNP on Thursday

    Addison (ankle) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

    Addison has yet to practice since hurting his right ankle Week 1, likely meaning he'll have to log at least a limited session Friday to give him a chance to return to action Sunday versus the Texans. Meanwhile, fellow wide receiver Justin Jefferson (quadriceps) was limited for a second day in a row, at least providing him more legitimate odds to be active Week 3. Friday's injury report should be telling for the statuses of both Addison and Jefferson heading into the weekend.

  • Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Limited again Thursday

    Jefferson (quadriceps) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

    Jefferson maintained his activity level from Wednesday's session as he tends to the bruised right quadriceps that he picked up late in the third quarter of this past Sunday's win against the 49ers. Both the wide receiver and coach Kevin O'Connell have expressed optimism in the meantime that the injury isn't serious, but Jefferson now has just one more session this week to prove his health ahead the weekend. In the end, Jefferson appears destined to have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Texans.

  • Vikings' Jordan Addison: Missing out on another practice

    Addison (ankle) didn't participate in the portion of Thursday's practice that was available to the media, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Addison was present for the session, though he was merely conducting rehab on a side field. With Addison set to be listed as a non-participant in practice for the second day in a row, he'll likely need to practice with his healthy teammates as at least a limited participant Friday to have a legitimate chance at playing Sunday against the Texans. While Addison was sidelined for the Vikings' Week 2 loss to the 49ers, Jalen Nailor (3-54-1 receiving line on four targets, 93 percent snap share) was the biggest beneficiary of an expanded role behind No. 1 wideout Justin Jefferson (quadricep).
