Phillips (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice. Phillips previously dealt with a back issue earlier in the month, so this is a new injury for the veteran defensive tackle. Phillips has started all 14 games this season, logging 41 tackles (14 solo), including 2.0 sacks, five QB hits, four batted passes, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

Vikings Injury Report
Phillips (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice. Phillips previously dealt with a back issue earlier in the month, so this is a new injury for the veteran defensive tackle. Phillips has started all 14 games this season, logging 41 tackles (14 solo), including 2.0 sacks, five QB hits, four batted passes, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
Gilmore (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Gilmore was inactive Monday night against the Bears, but his full participation Wednesday would suggest he's gearing toward playing Sunday against the Seahawks following his two-game absence. Gilmore has logged 47 tackles (32 solo) and seven pass breakups, including one interception, across 12 contests this season.
Smith (foot) was limited in Wednesday's practice. It's a new injury for Smith, who hasn't been listed on the injury report since September. The veteran safety has started all 14 games this season but did play just 81 percent of the defensive snaps Monday night against the Bears, his lowest snap rate since Week 3. On the year, Smith has logged 79 tackles (51 solo), including three TFLs and 1.0 sacks, nine pass breakups, including two interceptions, and one fumble recovery.
Nailor had one reception for five yards in Monday's win over Chicago. Nailor had his first reception in two games as he's a distant fourth option in the passing game. He's still getting plenty of playing time as the third receiver, however, as he played on 41 of the offense's 77 snaps. He has just five receptions in his last seven games.
Akers had 10 carries for 24 yards, including a one-yard touchdown, in Monday's win over Chicago. Akers got significant work behind Aaron Jones, playing on 21 of the offense's 77 snaps. Jones had 18 carries and two receptions while playing 47 snaps. Akers should continue to get about a third of the snaps to keep Jones fresh.
Metellus recorded 10 total tackles (eight solo) in Monday's 30-12 win over the Bears. Metellus led the team in tackles, reaching 10 takedowns for the second time in three weeks as the Vikings extended their winning streak to seven games in a row. The cornerback has now compiled 88 total tackles (55 solo), four passes defensed, including two interceptions, and a forced fumble over 14 games in 2024.
Greenard recorded six total tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also forcing a fumble in Monday's 30-12 win over the Bears. Greenard didn't wait long to make his mark in Week 15, recording a strip-sack of Caleb Williams in the first quarter. Teammate Blake Cashman recovered the fumble while the sack was Greenard's 11th of the year. Greenard has now compiled 49 total tackles (34 solo), including the 11.0 sacks, while also adding four forced fumbles and two passes defensed over 14 games in his first season with Minnesota.
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.
