Misses preseason opener Moreau (undisclosed) did not play in Saturday's 30-9 loss to Denver, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact Moreau is dealing with an undisclosed injury, which forced him to sit out the team's preseason opener against the Broncos. It's unclear if the cornerback is dealing with a significant injury, but head coach Kyle Shanahan did not mention his name while rattling off players Sunday that could return to action in the team's matchup with Las Vegas on Saturday.

Full practice to open week Moreau (hip) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Moreau has missed the Vikings' last three games due to a hip injury, but he appears to be on track to play in Monday's NFC wild-card game against the Rams. Moreau's return would bolster the Vikings' secondary and provide depth at outside corner behind starters Shaquill Griffin and Stephon Gilmore.

Expected for playoffs Moreau (hip) was close to playing in Sunday's loss to the Lions, but he should be ready to compete in the wild-card round against the Rams, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Impact Moreau has missed each of the Vikings' last three games, but his string of absences seems to be coming to an end. However, it'll still be worth monitoring the veteran corner's practice activity in the days leading up to next Monday's game in Los Angeles.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

No go for SNF Moreau (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday night's matchup with the Lions.

Impact Moreau will be sidelined for the third week in a row as he continues to nurse a hip injury. In his absence, Dwight McGlothern and Josh Metellus will continue to operate in substantial roles in Minnesota's secondary in Week 18. If the Vikings are able to defeat Detroit on Sunday Night Football, Minnesota would secure a first-round bye in the postseason, giving Moreau an extra week to get healthy before the team would play again.

Will miss Week 17 vs. Packers Moreau (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Green Bay.

Impact Moreau will miss his second straight game after sitting out every practice this week. The veteran cornerback had been playing in a rotational role prior to hurting his hip, logging between 36 and 49 percent of Minnesota's defensive snaps in each of his prior three contests. Moreau's next chance to suit up will be in the Vikings' regular-season finale in Week 18.

Out for Week 16 Moreau (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks.

Impact The 30-year-old cornerback was unable to practice all week after likely sustaining a hip injury in Minnesota's Week 15 win over the Bears, so it's no surprise he won't suit up Sunday. With Moreau sidelined, Dwight McGlothern is likely to step in and serve as the Vikings' top backup outside corner.

JULY 31, 2024 • Associated Press

Headed to Minnesota The Vikings signed Moreau on Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Moreau started in 11 of 16 regular-season games for the Broncos last season, recording 46 tackles (33 solo), seven passes defended and one interception. The 2017 third-round pick out of UCLA brings much-needed depth at corner after Mekhi Blackmon suffered a season-ending torn ACL injury in the first practice of Vikings training camp, while fellow corners Byron Murphy (knee - MCL) and Shaquill Griffin (leg) are also dealing with injuries.

Finishes first season in Denver Moreau recorded 46 tackles (33 solo) to go with seven passes defended and one interception while playing in 16 games in 2023.

Impact Moreau had a solid 2023 campaign in his first year with the Broncos. The 29-year-old cornerback is now set enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent. It's unclear if the Broncos will try to keep Moreau in Denver, as fellow cornerback Ja'Quan McMillian is under contract for 2024 and just finished a strong season in the Broncos' defensive backfield.

FEBRUARY 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Records eight tackles Moreau posted eight tackles (seven solo) and a pass defended in Saturday's 42-17 loss to the Lions.

Impact Moreau's eight tackle total was a season high for the veteran cornerback. The 29-year-old played 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps for the third straight week and has now recorded 35 total tackles, six passes defended and one interception in 13 appearances this season. Moreau will look to build upon this solid performance when the Broncos host the Patriots in a Week 16 matchup.

Stepping into larger role Moreau is expected to make a second straight start at cornerback Sunday versus Kansas City, Ryan McFadden of The Denver Post reports.

Impact After logging just 27 snaps on defense over Denver's first six games of the season, Moreau displaced the struggling Damarri Mathis as a starting boundary corner opposite All-Pro Patrick Surtain in the Broncos' Week 7 win over the Packers. Moreau proceeded to play all 61 of the Broncos' snaps on defense in the victory, recording four tackles and a pass breakup. With Moreau drawing favorable reviews from the coaching staff for his Week 7 performance, he'll take on an expanded role once again Week 8 but draws a much tougher matchup in the form of Patrick Mahomes and the high-powered Chiefs offense.
