Redmond (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers. Redmond was sidelined for Minnesota's Week 16 win over the Seahawks after sustaining a concussion the week prior. However, he practiced in full both Thursday and Friday and has no injury designation for Sunday's divisional matchup, suggesting he's cleared the NFL's five-step protocol. Expect Redmond to serve as one of the Vikings' top reserve defensive ends in the Week 17 contest.
Redmond (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks. Redmond entered the NFL's five-step concussion protocol following the Vikings' Week 15 win over the Bears and was unable to practice all week, making it no surprise that he'll be sidelined in Week 16. Jihad Ward is likely to serve as Minnesota's top rotational defensive end in Redmond's stead Sunday.
Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Tuesday that Redmond (concussion) is in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports. Redmond notched two tackles (one solo) while playing 41 percent of defensive snaps during Monday's 30-12 win over the Bears, but it appears that he sustained a concussion in the process. The rotational defensive lineman will now need to fully clear the NFL's concussion protocol before being eligible to return to game action, making his status uncertain for Sunday's road matchup against Seattle.
Redmond had one total tackle for a sack in Sunday's win over Houston. Redmond played on 16 of the defense's 67 snaps as he's working in a reserve defensive tackle role. The undrafted free agent out of the University of Oklahoma recorded his first career sack.
Redmond (undisclosed) has agreed to terms on a contract with the Vikings per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Redmond was waived with an injury settlement by the Panthers prior to the kick off of the 2023 season. With him signing to the Vikings' roster, it appears his health is back up to par going forward. The defensive tackle will now look to earn a spot in Minnesota's defensive trenches for the upcoming season.
