Placed on COVID-19 list O'Neill was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports, as a result of testing positive for the virus, according to Tom Pelisser...

Impact O'Neill joins fellow starting offensive linemen Christian Darrisaw and Ezra Cleveland in COVID protocols. If O'Neill is unable to get clearance in time for Sunday against the Bears, Blake Brandel would likely draw the start at right tackle.

Signs five-year extension The Vikings gave O'Neill a five-year, $92.5 million extension Wednesday, making him the second-highest paid right tackle behind Ryan Ramczyk, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact O'Neill was selected in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft and took over the starting spot by Week 6 of his rookie year. The 25-year-old gets a huge pay day before the 2021 campaign, which would've been his last under his rookie deal. He has missed just one start since taking over the starting gig and will look to continue his excellent track record of staying on the field.

Fine moving forward O'Neill (eye) was absent from Wednesday's injury report.

Impact O'Neill exited this past Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers with an eye injury, but he'll return to action this week against the Bears. The 2018 second-round pick is slated to resume his typical duties at right tackle.

DECEMBER 17, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Coping with eye injury O'Neill (eye) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers.

Impact O'Neill's absence leaves Rashod Hill as the fill-in option at right tackle, a questionable proposition for Minnesota's sake given the matchup against Tampa Bay's powerful front seven. The 25-year-old had proven to be incredibly durable coming into Sunday, refusing to miss a single offensive snap over the first 13 weeks of the season.

Returning as starter O'Neill (concussion) is set to retain his starting spot at right tackle for the Vikings in 2020, Eric Smith of the team's official site reports.

Impact O'Neill started all 15 games he appeared in last season, though he did exit the playoff loss to the 49ers to be evaluated for a concussion. The 2018 second-round pick has started 26 of 30 games through his first two seasons and should continue protecting Kirk Cousins in 2020.
