Ready for Thursday Hargrave (thigh) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Thursday's game against the Lions.

Impact Hargrave logged limited practices all week with a thigh injury, and the partial participation was clearly enough to clear the defensive lineman of any injury designation. The 32-year-old is all set to suit up alongside Jalen Redmond and Jonathan Allen in the hopes of crushing the Lions' dreams of the postseason.

Deemed limited Monday, Tuesday Hargrave (thigh) has been deemed a limited participant on Minnesota's estimated practice report both Monday and Tuesday.

Impact Hargrave didn't play against the Giants on Sunday due to the thigh injury he suffered one week earlier versus Dallas. The Vikings haven't held an actual practice yet this week, but the veteran defensive lineman's listing as limited two straight days suggests he at least has a chance of suiting up Thursday against Detroit. However, if Hargrave has to miss that game, a combination of Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins and Elijah Williams could help fill the void.

Won't play in Week 16 Hargrave (thigh) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hargrave will sit out due to a thigh injury, which was originally termed a groin injury when he first got hurt in the Week 15 win over Dallas. He won't have much time to recover before the Vikings take the field again Thursday in Week 17. Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins could play an expanded role Sunday against the Giants in Hargrave's absence.

Sidelined by thigh injury Hargrave (thigh) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact Hargrave suffered what was termed a groin injury in Sunday night's win over the Cowboys. While he was sidelined with a thigh injury Wednesday, the issue is presumably the same. Hargrave's status looks to be in jeopardy for Sunday's matchup against the Giants.

Questionable to return to SNF Hargrave (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against the Cowboys.

Impact Hargrave suffered an apparent groin injury in the second half, placing some doubt on his availability for the rest of the night. In his absence, Levi Drake Rodriguez and Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins are candidates to see an increase in workload on the defensive line.

Impact Hargrave played on 39 of the defense's 64 snaps. He had played less than 40% of the defensive snaps the previous two weeks. He had been seen as not living up to his two-year, $30 million contract before last week, but may have turned his season around.

Ready for Sunday Hargrave (chest) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

Impact The veteran defensive lineman upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to a full practice Friday, suggesting he's moved past his chest issue in time to face the Steelers on Sunday morning. Hargrave has recorded 11 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, across his first three games as a Viking. He's expected to start opposite Jonathan Allen in Week 4.

Doesn't practice Wednesday Hargrave (chest) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Emily Leiker of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Impact Hargrave played just 11 defensive snaps during the Vikings' 48-10 win over the Bengals this past Sunday after suffering a chest injury. He'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation this week to avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's Week 4 clash against the Steelers in Dublin, Ireland.

Leaves game with chest injury Hargrave is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals due to a chest injury.

Impact Hargrave spent time in the medical tent with trainers to have the severity of his chest injury evaluated. Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins and Levi Drake Rodriguez should see an uptick in snaps on the defensive line for as long as Hargrave is out of the game.

Picks up 2.0 sacks in Vikings debut Hargrave finished Monday's 27-24 Week 1 win over Chicago with five tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks.

Impact Hargrave made a big impact in his first game with the Vikings after signing a two-year contract in March. The veteran pass-rusher logged both of Minnesota's sacks in the narrow victory and tied for second on the team with five total tackles. Hargrave appeared fully healthy after playing only three games last year due to a triceps tear.
