The Vikings designated Taimani (ankle) to return from injured reserve Thursday. Taimani was placed on injured reserve Nov. 1 due to an ankle injury. His 21-day practice window opened Thursday, and he opened the week as a full participant in practice. Barring any setbacks. Taimani could be activated off IR ahead of the Vikings' NFC wild-card game against the Rams on Monday.
The Vikings placed Taimani (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday. Taimani was already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts, and he'll now be forced to miss at least the next four regular-season games. The earliest Taimani can return is Week 13 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Dec. 1.
Taimani (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 9 clash against Indianapolis. Taimani has held a minor rotational role on the defensive line this season, logging 67 defensive snaps over seven games and totaling three tackles (one solo). Rookie Levi Drake Rodriguez is expected to make his NFL debut Sunday in Taimani's absence, per Will Ragatz of SI.com.
