Smith recorded three solo tackles and two pass breakups, including an interception, in Sunday's 23-13 win over the Titans. The veteran safety also played on all 55 defensive snaps. Smith now has 53 tackles (32 solo), including 1.0 sacks, seven pass breakups, including two interceptions, and a fumble recovery in 2024.
Cashman recorded four tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 23-13 win over the Titans. The inside linebacker also played on all 55 defensive snaps. Cashman now has 49 tackles (25 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and five pass breakups in seven games this season.
Jones had five total tackles and two sacks in Sunday's win at Tennessee. It's Jones' third game this season with two sacks. He now has seven sacks this season after posting just five career sacks in his three previous seasons.
Van Ginkel had eight total tackles and two sacks in Sunday's win at Tennessee. Van Ginkel was limited by a hip injury in practice last week, but looked at full speed in the win. He had five total pressures on the quarterback, according to Pro Football Focus.
Chandler didn't have a carry or reception in Sunday's win at Tennessee. He did have one kick return for 35 yards. Chandler played just one snap on offense as he's become a distant third option at running back behind starter Aaron Jones and backup Cam Akers.
Nailor did not have a catch on two targets in Sunday's win at Tennessee. He had two drops, according to Pro Football Focus, including a difficult, but catchable, pass attempt in the end zone. Nailor worked as the third receiver as he played on 32 of the offense's 73 snaps. However, his drops could allow Trent Sherfield and Brandon Powell to get more time in three-receiver sets.
Hockenson had two receptions for 13 yards on three targets in Sunday's win at Tennessee. Hockenson was on the field with the starters and played on 35 of the offense's 73 snaps, going out on 25 routes. After drawing nine targets in his previous game, he wasn't utilized as much against the Titans which was a surprise since he's likely just getting back to full speed in his third game since returning from a torn ACL. He played the same share of snaps (45%) as his two previous games, so it's possible he could see increased usage as the season progresses.
Coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that Oliver sprained his left ankle during Sunday's win at Tennessee, and his status for a Week 12 game at Chicago is to be determined, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Per Goessling, Oliver was seen with a walking boot on his foot following Sunday's game, and O'Connell acknowledged afterward that the tight end would be evaluated upon the Vikings returning to Minnesota. That process appears to be ongoing, and Oliver's status could gain some clarity once the team gets back on the practice field Wednesday. Over the last four games, he's recorded multiple catches on each occasion en route to a cumulative 14-174-2 line on 16 targets.
