Placed on injured reserve The Vikings placed Greenard (shoulder) on injured reserve Wednesday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.

Impact Head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters Wednesday that Greenard would undergo season-ending shoulder surgery, and the latter's placement on injured reserve confirms that he will be sidelined for the rest of the 2025 campaign. The veteran linebacker will shift his focus into progressing enough in his recovery to be fully healthy for the start of the 2026 season.

Done for the year Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that Greenard (shoulder) will undergo season-ending surgery, Kevin Seifert of ESPN reports.

Impact Greenard missed two games due to the shoulder injury he picked up Week 10 then attempted to play through the issue in three consecutive contests, including Sunday's win over the Vikings in which he racked up four assisted tackles including 1.0 sacks. However, the injury is ultimately severe enough that he'll have to now undergo treatment. In Greenard's stead, Dallas Turner figures to inherit a starting role on defense.

DECEMBER 15 • Associated Press

Vikings' top pass rusher to undergo shoulder surgery, miss rest of season Jonathan Greenard battled through injury but will now be shut down and miss the final three games.

Dealing with shoulder issue Greenard (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against Dallas.

Impact Greenard suffered an apparent shoulder injury in the fourth quarter, and his status for the stretch run of Sunday Night Football is now in doubt. In his absence, Dallas Turner is a candidate to see increased playing time at linebacker versus the Cowboys.

DECEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Reduced playing time Greenard had two total tackles as he played behind Dallas Turner in Sunday's win over Washington. Greenard said he's still working through a left shoulder injury, the Minneapolis S...

Impact Greenard has been battling a sore shoulder since suffering the injury Nov. 9. He played on 29 of the defense's 52 snaps, though that is an increase from last week when he played just 15 snaps (22% of the defenses snaps). He could see more work Week 15 at Dallas as he works his way back to full strength.

DECEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Set to suit up Greenard (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Impact Greenard looks to string together consecutive starts after missing Week 11 and Week 12 with a shoulder injury. The linebacker was on a snap count last week, logging just 22 percent of defensive snaps. If the shoulder injury is still a lingering issue this trend could continue, meaning Dallas Turner will likely get a healthy snap share similar to Week 13.

DECEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Still dealing with shoulder injury Greenard (shoulder) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.

Impact Greenard returned to the lineup last week after missing the previous two games with a shoulder injury, but he played just 15 defensive snaps, his lowest total of the year. It's possible that this will be a lingering issue, which could keep him on a snap count once again in Week 14 versus the Commanders.

DECEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Week 13 Greenard (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Impact Greenard has been cleared to return Sunday from a two-game absence due to a shoulder injury, which means Dallas Turner will likely revert to a rotational role at edge rusher. Prior to his injury, Greenard accumulated 31 tackles (19 solo), including 2.0 sacks, three pass defenses and one forced fumble across nine regular-season games.

Vikings get good report on Jonathan Greenard, other key players still up in the air Minnesota has questionable tags on Greenard, Jalen Redmond, Christian Darrisaw, Josh Metellus, and Theo Jackson.

NOVEMBER 30 • SI.COM

On track to play Sunday Greenard (shoulder) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday in Seattle, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Greenard took a designation into the weekend after he was a limited participant in practice Wednesday through Friday, but he looks like he's on track to be cleared ahead of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. After tallying at least 12.0 sacks in the previous two seasons, Greenard has been limited to just two through nine appearances with Minnesota in 2025.

NOVEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Greenard (shoulder) listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Impact Greenard logged limited practices throughout the week, making five consecutive limited practices since he left the Week 10 game against the Ravens with a shoulder injury. The consistent stringing together of practices means there is a good chance the weakside linebacker is able to suit up for Sunday's game. If Greenard can't go, Dallas Turner is in line for the same uptick in defensive snaps that he saw in Week 11 and Week 12.
