Waived with injury settlement Keys (undisclosed) was waived from injured reserve with an injury settlement by the Cardinals on Monday, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports.

Impact The linebacker was placed on IR on Aug. 15 after likely suffering the injury during a preseason win over the Raiders. Now that he's got his settlement, he can play in 2026 if he gets healthy enough to suit up.

Not playing Week 16 Keys (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact Keys posted an LP-LP-FP practice log during Week 16 prep while working through an ankle injury, but he has not been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. He's mostly served on special teams this season, but his absence means the Vikings will have less depth at inside linebacker behind Blake Cashman and Eric Wilson.

Inactive for Week 2 Keys (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

Impact Keys popped up on Friday's practice report due to a groin issue. He was a full participant in that session, but the injury appears to have worsened over the weekend, and the undrafted rookie will observe Sunday night's game in street clothes. Keys played exclusively on special teams during the Vikings' Week 1 win over the Bears, but his absence leaves rookie sixth-rounder Kobe King as the lone backup inside linebacker behind Eric Wilson and Ivan Pace.
