The Vikings activated Risner (back) from injured reserve Saturday, and he carries no injury designation into Sunday's game against the Colts. Risner began the regular season on IR due to a back injury. His 21-day practice window opened Oct. 14, and the 2019 second-round pick will be available for Sunday's contest.
Risner (back) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Rams. Risner has been on the Vikings' injured reserve since the end of training camp due to a back injury. His 21-day practice window opened Oct. 14, but the Vikings will play it safe and keep the 2019 second-round pick out of Thursday's contest. Risner's next chance at suiting up will be Week 9 against the Colts on Nov. 3.
Risner (back) is questionable to play in Thursday night's matchup with the Rams. Risner has been back at practice for over a week after having his 21-day practice window opened Oct. 14. It is still uncertain if the offensive lineman will be able to go in Week 8, but he is clearly on the cusp of making his return to the field.
Risner (back) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports. Risner started the season on injured reserve due to a back injury, but his 21-day practice window opened Monday. He was a limited participant in all three practices this week, and although he won't return Sunday, he could be activated off IR ahead of the Vikings' Week 8 clash against the Rams on Thursday Night Football.
Risner (back) was designated to return from injured reserve Monday. Risner has yet to play this season after sustaining a back injury that landed him on Minnesota's IR in late August. However, it appears the 29-year-old is nearing a return to the field and will now have 21 days to be activated to the Vikings' active roster before reverting to IR. Once fully recovered, expect Risner to serve as Minnesota's top right guard.
Risner (back) was working in the weight room during practice Thursday, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Risner has been on IR since Aug. 28 and is eligible to return next week. He still can't practice with the team, but his ability to hit the weight room, despite the initial back injury, is a positive sign of his progress, and he could be designated to return ahead of the Vikings' Week 5 matchup with the Jets.
Risner (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday with a designation to return, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Risner will be forced to miss at least the first four weeks of the season, but he will have the opportunity to return for Week 5 against the Jets.
The Vikings are re-signing Risner to a one-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Risner spent the first four seasons of his career with Denver before signing with Minnesota last September, and he eventually took over the starting role at left guard. Risner will presumably reprise that starting role in 2024.
