Overview
- Linebacker Blake Cashman and running back Ty Chandler were placed on injured reserve and must miss at least four games under league rules.
- Coach Kevin O'Connell said Christian Darrisaw’s status reflects policy and process rather than a setback, roughly 323 days after his ACL/MCL tear.
- To reinforce depth for Week 2, the Vikings signed tight end Nick Vannett and wide receiver Tim Jones and elevated cornerback Fabian Moreau and outside linebacker Gabe Murphy.
- Safety Harrison Smith is questionable as he rebuilds conditioning following an illness, and NFL Network reported he could wait another week before debuting.
- Atlanta wide receiver Darnell Mooney carries no injury designation and is cleared to play Sunday night.
