Nelson (undisclosed) was placed on the Vikings' injured reserve Monday. Nelson signed with Minnesota in July, but he's now set to miss the entirety of the 2025 campaign while sidelined with an undisclosed injury. The offensive lineman would only be eligible to return to action this season if he's able to reach an injury settlement with the Vikings.
