EAGAN, Minn. \u2014 The Vikings returned to practice Wednesday in advance of hosting the Dolphins at 3:05 p.m. (CT) Sunday in Week 4 of 2026.<\/p>\n
The Vikings are also scheduled to practice Thursday and Friday. Players will receive game status designations on Friday.<\/p>\n
Receiver Justin Jefferson (ankle), cornerback Chuck Demmings (hamstring) and punter Brett Thorson (right hamstring) did not participate Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Vikings Head Coach Kevin O’Connell said he considers Jefferson “day-to-day” after the star receiver left because of a sprain that occurred on his seventh snap at Tampa Bay Sunday.<\/p>\n
“He’s feeling a little bit better as the week progresses, but not in any place right now to talk about what that means for the weekend,” O’Connell said.<\/p>\n
The coach added they will not rush Jefferson back before he’s at “a certain place where we feel like he can go be himself.”<\/p>\n
Linebacker Blake Cashman (elbow) was listed as limited on the initial report.<\/p>\n
Running back Aaron Jones, Sr., was issued a rest day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EAGAN, Minn. \u2014 The Vikings returned to practice Wednesday in advance of hosting the Dolphins at 3:05 p.m.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1015298,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2049],"tags":[217,132739,7,17416,216,251,132740,2087,1025,1219,38548,6],"class_list":["post-1015297","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami-dolphins","tag-dolphins","tag-dolphins-at-vikings-2026-reg-4","tag-football","tag-injury-report","tag-miami","tag-miami-dolphins","tag-miami-dolphins-at-minnesota-vikings-2026-reg-4","tag-miamidolphins","tag-news-index","tag-news-team","tag-news-injury-report","tag-nfl"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/117363128627911171","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1015297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1015297"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1015297\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1015298"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1015297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1015297"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1015297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
