2024 NFL Week 2 Blazin' 5: Who wins Saints-Cowboys?
Andrew Van Ginkel - No designation for Sunday Van Ginkel (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation and will play Sunday against the 49ers.
Impact Van Ginkel missed practice Wednesday but was upgraded to limited Thursday and cleared to play Friday. In Minnesota's Week 1 throttling of the Giants, the veteran edge player recorded four tackles (two solo), one sack and a pick-six interception.

49ers vs. Vikings 2024 Prediction, Odds, Picks - Sep 15
Harrison Smith - Officially questionable for Week 2 Smith (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, asgdsags reports.
Impact Smith upgraded to a limited practice level Friday, which bodes well for his chances of being cleared to take the field versus San Francisco. The veteran safety played 93 percent of defensive snaps Week 1 against the Giants.

Jordan Addison - Won't play this week Addison (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Impact With Addison out, Brandon Powell and Jalen Nailor are candidates to see added work behind Justin Jefferson in Week 2. Addison's next chance to play will arrive Sept. 22 against the Texans.
SEPTEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Addison - Not looking good for Week 2 Addison (ankle) isn't practicing Friday and thus seems unlikely to play Sunday against the 49ers, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Impact Addison sprained his left ankle in August but made it back for Week 1, only to sprain his right ankle in a win over the Giants. He hasn't practiced at all this week, which likely leaves Jalen Nailor and Brandon Powell to join Justin Jefferson in three-wide formations come Sunday.

Darnold's home debut with Vikings comes vs. 49ers team he was enlightened with last year as a backup

Sam Darnold had a burden-free season with the San Francisco 49ers last year as the backup to Brock Purdy while continuing to learn the league, his position and himself
SEPTEMBER 12, 2024 • Associated Press
Andrew Van Ginkel - Upgraded to limited Thursday Van Ginkel (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice session.
Impact Van Ginkel did not participate in Wednesday's practice, but he was able to see the field in a restricted capacity Thursday. His participation in Friday's practice will give a better sense on his availability for the Vikings' Week 2 showdown against the 49ers on Sunday. Van Ginkel accrued four tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, and returned an interception for a touchdown in the Vikings' Week 1 victory over the Giants.
SEPTEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Harrison Smith - Doesn't practice Thursday Smith did not practice in Thursday's practice due to a hip injury.
Impact Smith practiced without restrictions Wednesday, but the 2012 first-round pick is nursing a groin injury that kept him off the field Thursday. His status for Week 2 against the 49ers should be more clear once Friday's injury report is released. Smith registered seven tackles (three solo) and one interception in the Vikings' Week 1 win over the Giants.

Jordan Addison - Missing from Thursday's practice Addison (ankle) wasn't spotted on the field at Thursday's practice, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Impact With Addison set to miss a second consecutive practice, he'll likely need to get back on the field Friday as at least a limited participant to have a realistic chance at playing in Sunday's game against the 49ers. Should Addison's right ankle injury keep him inactive Sunday, Jalen Nailor and Brandon Powell would likely be featured more prominently in three-receiver sets alongside No. 1 option Justin Jefferson.

McCaffrey heads into Week 2 with the 'mentality' that he will play for the 49ers

All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey heads into the week of practice preparing to play for the San Francisco 49ers even if the sore calf and Achilles tendon that held him out o...
SEPTEMBER 11, 2024 • Associated Press
Andrew Van Ginkel - Dealing with foot injury Van Ginkel (foot) didn't practice Wednesday.
Impact Van Ginkel was all over the field during his Vikings debut in Week 1, but it now appears he could be in jeopardy of missing time due to a foot injury. The Wisconsin product's practice participation Thursday and Friday will provide a better indication of whether Van Ginkel will be able to suit up in Week 2. If he remains hindered by this foot issue throughout the week, expect 2024 first-round pick Dallas Turner to see increased work with the Vikings' first-team defense.
SEPTEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Addison - Not practicing Wednesday Coach Kevin O'Connell said Addison (ankle) won't take part in Wednesday's practice, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Impact Instead, Addison will focus on treatment of his right ankle to begin Week 2 prep after injuring it during this past Sunday's win at the Giants. O'Connell told Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press on Monday that he was "hopeful" Addison will be able to play Sunday against the 49ers, but he may have to mix into drills Thursday and/or Friday in order for the Vikings to feel comfortable making him active. Brandon Powell and Jalen Nailor are next up for reps at wide receiver behind top option Justin Jefferson in Minnesota's offense.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey reportedly a long shot to play vs. Vikings

San Francisco could be without its star running back for a second straight game as Christian McCaffrey is battling Achilles tendinitis.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey reportedly a long shot to play vs. Vikings
Brandon Powell - Held without a catch Week 1 Powell was not targeted during Minnesota's 28-6 win over the Giants in Week 1.
Impact Powell did return one punt for one yard, but that was the extent of his involvement on the stat sheet in a dominant showing by the Vikings. The Jets downed two punts and sent another three out of bounds, so Powell's involvement as Minnesota's primary punt returner could grow Week 2 against the 49ers on Sunday. He'll also figure to step into a larger offensive role behind Justin Jefferson should Jordan Addison (ankle) be limited at all due to injury.

QB Stock Market Week 2: Is Baker Mayfield actually good?
Harrison Phillips - Inks two-year extension Phillips agreed to terms Tuesday on a two-year contract extension worth up to $19 million with the Vikings, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Phillips, who logged five tackles (one solo) and 1.0 sacks during Minnesota's win over the Giants in Week 1, will remain an anchor of the team's defensive front for the foreseeable future. The veteran is coming off a career-best 2023 campaign in which he tallied 92 tackles (44 solo) and 3.0 sacks across 17 regular-season games.
SEPTEMBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Harrison Phillips - Logs sack versus Giants Phillips recorded five tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sack, in Minnesota's 28-6 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Impact Phillips was one of the four players on the Vikings to record a sack in what was a dominant outing for the defense as whole. The 2018 third-round pick will look to produce once again when the team takes on the 49ers next week.
