Good to go against Green Bay O'Neill (heel) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Packers.

Impact O'Neill has been cleared to return from a one-game absence due to a heel injury. He should reclaim his starting spot at right tackle while Blake Brandel reverts to a reserve role.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Logs limited session Wednesday O'Neill (heel) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact O'Neill was sidelined for the Week 17 win over the Lions due to a heel injury, so Wednesday's limited session could be a sign that he's trending in the right direction. The veteran offensive lineman likely needs to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into Sunday's season finale against the Packers.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing vs. Detroit O'Neil (heel) has been ruled out for Minnesota's game versus the Lions on Thursday.

Impact O'Neil managed to play through the injury during last week's win over the Giants but will be unable to do so against Detroit. In his absence, Walter Rouse should get the start at right tackle for Thursday's matchup.

Questionable vs. Lions O'Neil (heel) is questionable for Minnesota's matchup against the Lions on Thursday.

Impact O'Neil managed to play through the injury during last week's win over the Giants and was also a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, so he should have a good chance to suit up versus Detroit. However, if the 30-year-old ends up being unable to play, Walter Rouse would be in line to start at right tackle.

DECEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Upgrades to limited Tuesday O'Neill (heel) was estimated as a limited practice participant on Tuesday's injury report.

Impact The Vikings held walkthrough practices Monday and Tuesday since they are facing the Lions on Christmas Day, but the good news for O'Neill is that he upgraded from a DNP to a limited practice participant. He would avoid an injury tag for Week 17 if he were to log a full practice Wednesday. O'Neill was able to play through a heel injury during the Vikings' 16-13 win over the Giants on Sunday.

DECEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Estimated as DNP O'Neill (heel) was listed as DNP on Monday's estimated practice report.

Impact O'Neill has dealt with the heel issue for the past week-plus but was cleared to play Sunday against the Giants and played all 61 offensive snaps in the win. Assuming he didn't suffer a setback, O'Neill will likely play Thursday against the Lions.

DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play vs. NYG O'Neill (heel) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact O'Neill ended Week 16 prep with back-to-back limited practices after not participating in Wednesday's session. He's been given the green light to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups and will continue to serve as the Vikings' starting right tackle.

DECEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday O'Neill (heel) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Impact O'Neill was able to log limited practice sessions Thursday and Friday in anticipation of Sunday's game. Consecutive sessions mean the tackle is likely trending towards playing. If O'Neill's heel injury proves to be too much to play through, Blake Brandel will likely start the game at right tackle.

DECEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice O'Neill (heel) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

Impact O'Neill was unable to practice Wednesday as he was nursing a heel injury, but he was able to return to the field Thursday, albeit in limited fashion. The offensive lineman will have one more shot to log a full practice prior to Sunday's contest against the Giants.

DECEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined by heel issue O'Neill (heel) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact O'Neill suffered what was termed an ankle injury in Sunday night's game against Dallas. However, he was sidelined by a heel issue Wednesday, with a presumably related issue. O'Neill has two additional days to improve his outlook for Sunday's game against the Giants.

DECEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to return O'Neill (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against the Cowboys.

Impact O'Neill suffered an ankle injury in the second half, and his status for the rest of the game is now up in the air. In his absence, Blake Brandel has taken over at right tackle versus Dallas.

Expected to return Sunday O'Neill, who is questionable to play against the Lions on Sunday due to a knee injury, is likely to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact O'Neill has been dealing with a knee issue since late September. He's sat out two contests due to the issue, including last Thursday's game against the Chargers, but it appears he'll be back to play against Detroit on Sunday. O'Neill should take on his usual starting role at right tackle.

Iffy for Week 9 O'Neill (knee) is listed as questionable questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions.

Impact O'Neill was out for Minnesota's Week 8 loss to the Chargers and has been dealing with a knee sprain since Week 4. He turned in a pair of limited practices to begin the current week and a full session Friday, leading coach Kevin O'Connell to express optimism that O'Neill will return in Week 9 for a pivotal divisional matchup, per Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com.

NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to begin prep for Week 9 O'Neill (knee) logged a limited practice session Wednesday.

Impact O'Neill missed Thursday's loss to the Chargers due to a knee injury. It's unclear whether he'll be able to return for a pivotal Week 9 matchup against Detroit, but his return to practice in any capacity is a positive step.

OCTOBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play against Chargers O'Neill (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Chargers.

Impact O'Neill played every snap during the Vikings' Week 7 loss to the Eagles, but a lingering MCL sprain will keep him out of Thursday night's road game. Justin Skule will likely start at right tackle in O'Neill's absence. O'Neill's next opportunity to play is Week 9 against the Lions on Sunday, Nov. 2.

OCTOBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go against Philadelphia O'Neill (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

OCTOBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Could return in Week 7 O'Neill (knee) is considered questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

Impact O'Neill was considered week-to-week with an MCL sprain that he suffered in Week 4, though he's only missed one game thanks to a bye in Week 6. He practiced in limited fashion throughout the week, so he appears to be truly questionable ahead of Minnesota's showdown with the Eagles.
