Vikings' Jamal Adams: Done for season
Adams suffered a season-ending right knee injury in the Vikings' 13-10 preseason win over the Giants on Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Adams signed with Minnesota in late July, and he was looking to build off of 2025 campaign in which he played a career-high 17 regular-season games with the Raiders, recording 45 total tackles (30 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a forced fumble. The 30-year-old will now shift his focus to rehabbing his knee injury, and he'll likely be placed on injured reserve with the Vikings in the near future.

Vikings' Elijah Williams: Plays Saturday
Williams logged one solo tackle for a sack during Saturday's preseason opener against the Giants.
Williams sacked Jameis Winston on a third down in the second quarter. The defensive lineman played 12 other defensive snaps in the contest, participating in 24 percent of the total plays for the Vikings' defense.

Vikings' Jay Ward: Sees preseason action
Ward logged two solo tackles during Saturday's preseason opener against the Giants.
Ward played 50 percent of the defensive snaps for the Vikings on Saturday. The strong safety relieved Josh Metellus early on in the game, managing 27 snaps now that he is concussion-free. Ward will likely see similar volume during next Saturday's preseason game against the Ravens.

Vikings' Josh Metellus: Participates Saturday
Metellus made one tackle assist during Saturday's preseason opener against the Giants.
The starting strong safety played just six defensive snaps in the contest, exiting before the rest of the defensive starters. Metellus' brief appearance meant Jay Ward got to see 50 percent of the defensive snaps, allowing him to further acclimate to his depth position at strong safety ahead of the 2026 season.

Vikings' Dwight McGlothern: Plays in Saturday opener
McGlothern made one solo tackle during Saturday's preseason opener against the Giants.
McGlothern played 17 defensive snaps for the Vikings in the contest. The cornerback played just short of a third of the game (31 percent), entering after starters Isaiah Rodgers and James Pierre had finished their nights.

Vikings' Gavin Bartholomew: Plays Saturday
Bartholomew saw one target in Saturday's preseason opener against the Giants.
The tight end logged 31 percent of the Vikings' offensive snaps in the contest. Bartholomew was in for 18 offensive plays but was unable to snag a reception. The 23-year-old will likely remain behind Ben Yurosek on the depth chart as the two head into their sophomore season with the Vikings.

Vikings' Jauan Jennings: Logs four snaps in preseason opener
Jennings played four snaps on offense and didn't show up in the box score otherwise during the Vikings' 13-10 preseason win over the Giants on Saturday.
Jennings and the rest of the Vikings' top skill position players saw minimal work in Saturday's exhibition game, with Justin Jefferson being a healthy scratch. Jennings signed a one-year contract with the Vikings in May after spending the first six years of his NFL career with the 49ers. He's coming off a 2025 campaign when he caught 55 passes (on 90 targets) for 643 yards and nine touchdowns across 15 regular-season games. Jennings is slated to serve as Minnesota's WR3 behind Jefferson and Jordan Addison.

Vikings' T.J. Hockenson: Minimal work in preseason opener
Hockenson played five snaps on offense and didn't show up in the box score otherwise during the Vikings' 13-10 preseason win over the Giants on Saturday.
Hockenson saw the least amount of offensive snaps among Vikings tight ends Saturday, with Bryson Nesbit (25) leading the position group in that category. Hockenson is coming off a 2025 campaign in which he logged 51 catches (on 66 targets) for 438 yards and three touchdowns across 15 regular-season games. He hasn't been the same player since his career year in 2023, which ended in late December by a torn ACL and MCL in his right knee. The Vikings added wide receiver Jauan Jennings in the offseason to be the WR3 behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, and while that may reduce Hockenson's target share, he's still the top tight end on the depth chart, with Josh Oliver and Ben Yurosek operating in complementary roles.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Good to go in preseason opener
Addison (thumb) caught his only target for eight yards in Saturday's 13-10 preseason win over the Giants.
The fourth-year wideout jammed his thumb early in training camp, but Addison was out there with the starters to begin the Vikings' preseason opener and hauled in his only look from new starting quarterback Kyler Murray. Addison has yet to reach 1,000 receiving yards in a season and has seen his numbers steadily decline since a strong rookie campaign in 2023, but he could be headed for a rebound with Murray under center and Justin Jefferson still on hand to command attention from opposition secondaries.

Vikings' Jordan Mason: Just three totes in preseason opener
Mason carried the ball three times for 17 yards in Saturday's 13-10 preseason win over the Giants.
The Vikings' starters on offense played just one possession, with both Mason and Aaron Jones getting snaps on a drive that ended with a 35-yard Will Reichard field goal. Mason was productive in his first season with Minnesota in 2025, rushing for 758 yards and six TDs on 159 carries in 16 regular-season games, and he seems set to work in a timeshare with Jones once again. The 31-year-old Jones still offers more big-play potential and utility as a receiver, but Mason should see the majority of the high-value touches near the goal line.

Vikings' Aaron Jones: Plays just one series Saturday
Jones carried the ball three times for 27 yards in Saturday's 13-10 preseason win over the Giants. He failed to catch his only target.
The Vikings' starters on offense played just one possession, with both Jones and Jordan Mason getting snaps on a drive that ended in a 35-yard Will Reichard field goal. Jones dealt with injuries once again in 2025, playing 12 regular-season games and producing 747 scrimmage yards on 160 touches with three total TDs, two rushing and one receiving. A timeshare between the two backs appears likely once again as Minnesota attempts to keep the 31-year-old Jones on the field, but he still appears to have enough juice to pop for some big plays and make a bigger impact as a receiver, while Mason gets more work between the tackles and at the goal line.

Vikings' Caleb Tiernan: Injures ankle Saturday
Tiernan suffered a left ankle injury during Saturday's preseason win against the Giants, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Tiernan struggled a bit in his first NFL game action after being drafted in the third round of April's NFL Draft. The Northwestern product also picked up an ankle injury, so it wasn't the preseason debut he had envisioned. Coach Kevin O'Connell didn't elaborate on the extent of Tiernan's injury, and it remains to be seen if he'll be able to play in Minnesota's next preseason contest, which is slated for next Saturday against the Ravens.

Vikings' Jakobe Thomas: Managing back issue
Thomas has been dealing with back stiffness and hasn't fully practiced for about a week, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Thomas was taken in the third round of April's NFL Draft and is expected to provide key depth in the Vikings' secondary this season. His current injury is particularly notable because fellow safeties Josh Metellus (shoulder) and Jay Ward (concussion) are both currently working through injuries of their own. However, there's no indication at this point that Thomas is at risk of not being ready for Week 1 of the regular season.

Vikings' Max Brosmer: Slated for imaging on thumb
Brosmer exited Saturday's preseason win over the Giants due to a right thumb injury, which he's expected to get imaging for, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Brosmer suffered the injury when his hand got hit on his final throw of the third quarter. Coach Kevin O'Connell explained after the game that the team "wanted to be smart" about addressing the issue despite Brosmer wanting to re-enter the contest. O'Connell also said that Brosmer will get imaging on the thumb, and results of those tests should provide clarity about whether the QB will be able to play in Minnesota's next preseason game, which is set for next Saturday versus Baltimore.

Vikings' Jamal Adams: Diagnosed with right knee injury
Head coach Kevin O'Connell said after Saturday's 13-10 preseason win over the Giants that Adams has been diagnosed with a right knee injury, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
It looked like a non-contact knee injury for Adams, who sustained the injury during the first quarter of Saturday's exhibition game. O'Connell relayed to reporters that initial imaging on Adams' right knee "didn't look good," but the Vikings will have a better sense of the severity of the injury once the veteran defender undergoes more tests. It's a brutal injury for Adams, who inked a one-year deal with the Vikings in late July to fortify the team's depth at linebacker.

Vikings' Jamal Adams: Carted off with injury
Adams (undisclosed) was carted to the locker room during the second quarter of Saturday's preseason game against the Giants, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Adams appeared to suffer the injury early in the second quarter on the same play that Jaxson Dart found Malachi Fields for a 15-yard touchdown pass. Adams was initially evaluated by medical staff in the blue medical tent but has since been carted to the locker room, where he'll undergo further tests to determine the nature and severity of his injury.
