Impact O'Neill was limited in practice all week by a knee injury, which earned him the questionable tag for Sunday's road game. Christian Darrisaw (concussion) has already been ruled out, so Ryan Van Demark and Caleb Tiernan could be the Vikings' starting offensive tackles if O'Neill is unable to play.

Regardless, O'Neill has a chance of suiting up Sunday in New Orleans, but he'll likely carry an injury designation into the weekend unless he's able to practice in full Friday.

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.
