Andrew Van Ginkel - Page 4 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Won't face Pittsburgh Van Ginkel (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Impact Van Ginkel won't take the field in Dublin and will miss his second game of the season. The 30-year-old has been limited to just eight defensive snaps since Week 1. However, on those eight snaps last week against Cincinnati, Van Ginkel recorded a pair of sacks. Dallas Turner will likely continue to see heavy playing time opposite Jonathan Greenard.

Doesn't practice Thursday Van Ginkel (neck) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

Impact Van Ginkel has opened the week with back-to-back DNPs due to a neck injury that likely flared up during the Vikings' Week 3 win over the Bengals. Van Ginkel appears unlikely to play against the Steelers on Sunday in Dublin, Ireland unless he's able to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday. Dallas Turner would have an increased role on defense against Pittsburgh on Sunday if Van Ginkel is not cleared to suit up.

Nursing neck injury Van Ginkel did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to a neck injury, Emily Leiker of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Impact Van Ginkel cleared the league's concussion protocol ahead of the Vikings' 48-10 win over the Bengals on Sunday, when he logged 2.0 sacks. He played just eight defensive snaps, and that lack of playing time seems to have stemmed more from a neck injury that he picked up during the game rather than the score. Van Ginkel will have two more chances to practice in at least a limited capacity heading into the Vikings' Week 4 clash against the Steelers in Dublin, Ireland.

Green light to play vs. Cincy Van Ginkel (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Impact Van Ginkel entered the league's concussion protocol following the Vikings' Week 1 win over the Bears, which prevented him from playing against the Falcons in Week 2. He was a full participant in Friday's practice, and he has done enough to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol and return to action Sunday.

Missing Week 2 Van Ginkel (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Van Ginkel has yet to practice this week after being placed in concussion protocol Wednesday, so it's no surprise he'll be sidelined in Week 2. The All-Pro edge rusher was impactful in the Vikings' Week 1 win over the Bears, recording five total tackles and two passes defended across 58 defensive snaps. With the Wisconsin product sidelined, 2024 first-round pick Dallas Turner projects to start opposite Jonathan Greenard on Sunday.

DNP on Thursday Van Ginkel (concussion) did not practice Thursday.

Impact Van Ginkel remains in the league's concussion protocol and has registered back-to-back DNPs to begin the week, putting his status in doubt for Sunday night's date with the Falcons. Van Ginkel played 91 percent of the defensive snaps in last Monday night's Week 1 win over the Bears, logging five tackles (three solo) and a pair of pass breakups. If Van Ginkel is unable to go in Week 2, Dallas Turner would be in line for increased playing time opposite Jonathan Greenard.

In concussion protocol Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said Wednesday that Van Ginkel is in the concussion protocol, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Impact Van Ginkel will need to gain full clearance from the concussion protocol before being cleared to suit up for a game, making his status for Sunday night's home matchup against the Falcons murky. The veteran linebacker was productive during Monday's 27-24 win over the Bears, recording five tackles (three solo), including one for a loss, plus two defensed passes. Dallas Turner will be the primary beneficiary of increased snaps if Van Ginkel misses any time.
