Moreau (hip) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Moreau has missed the Vikings' last three games due to a hip injury, but he appears to be on track to play in Monday's NFC wild-card game against the Rams. Moreau's return would bolster the Vikings' secondary and provide depth at outside corner behind starters Shaquill Griffin and Stephon Gilmore.

Moreau (hip) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Moreau has missed the Vikings' last three games due to a hip injury, but he appears to be on track to play in Monday's NFC wild-card game against the Rams. Moreau's return would bolster the Vikings' secondary and provide depth at outside corner behind starters Shaquill Griffin and Stephon Gilmore.
Moreau (hip) was close to playing in Sunday's loss to the Lions, but he should be ready to compete in the wild-card round against the Rams, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports. Moreau has missed each of the Vikings' last three games, but his string of absences seems to be coming to an end. However, it'll still be worth monitoring the veteran corner's practice activity in the days leading up to next Monday's game in Los Angeles.
Moreau (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday night's matchup with the Lions. Moreau will be sidelined for the third week in a row as he continues to nurse a hip injury. In his absence, Dwight McGlothern and Josh Metellus will continue to operate in substantial roles in Minnesota's secondary in Week 18. If the Vikings are able to defeat Detroit on Sunday Night Football, Minnesota would secure a first-round bye in the postseason, giving Moreau an extra week to get healthy before the team would play again.
Moreau (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Green Bay. Moreau will miss his second straight game after sitting out every practice this week. The veteran cornerback had been playing in a rotational role prior to hurting his hip, logging between 36 and 49 percent of Minnesota's defensive snaps in each of his prior three contests. Moreau's next chance to suit up will be in the Vikings' regular-season finale at Detroit.
Moreau (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks. The 30-year-old cornerback was unable to practice all week after likely sustaining a hip injury in Minnesota's Week 15 win over the Bears, so it's no surprise he won't suit up Sunday. With Moreau sidelined, Dwight McGlothern is likely to step in and serve as the Vikings' top backup outside corner.
The Vikings signed Moreau on Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Moreau started in 11 of 16 regular-season games for the Broncos last season, recording 46 tackles (33 solo), seven passes defended and one interception. The 2017 third-round pick out of UCLA brings much-needed depth at corner after Mekhi Blackmon suffered a season-ending torn ACL injury in the first practice of Vikings training camp, while fellow corners Byron Murphy (knee - MCL) and Shaquill Griffin (leg) are also dealing with injuries.
After logging just 27 snaps on defense over Denver's first six games of the season, Moreau displaced the struggling Damarri Mathis as a starting boundary corner opposite All-Pro Patrick Surtain in the Broncos' Week 7 win over the Packers. Moreau proceeded to play all 61 of the Broncos' snaps on defense in the victory, recording four tackles and a pass breakup. With Moreau drawing favorable reviews from the coaching staff for his Week 7 performance, he'll take on an expanded role once again Week 8 but draws a much tougher matchup in the form of Patrick Mahomes and the high-powered Chiefs offense.
