Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Friday that Powell (chest) will not carry an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Jets, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports. Powell opened the week as a limited participant in practice due to a chest issue, but the No. 3 wide receiver is ready to rock for Sunday's international matchup against New York. He'll handle his usual role on offense behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison while also contributing in the return game.
Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Friday that Poyer (wrist) will not carry an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Jets in London, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports. Oliver has been limited in practice due to a wrist injury, but he'll continue to play through the issue as he's done since Week 3. The 2019 third-round pick is coming off a Week 4 performance against Green Bay in which he played a season-high 70 percent of offensive snaps while securing both of his targets for 10 yards and one touchdown, but it's worth noting that Minnesota activated starter T.J. Hockenson (knee) for a return to practice Friday, though he isn't a candidate to suit up versus New York.
Hockenson (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets after returning to practice Friday as a limited participant, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports. There was probably never any chance the Vikings would rush Hockenson back into action right before a Week 6 bye. The question is whether he'll be ready for Week 7 against the Lions on Sunday, Oct. 20 or a Week 8 game against the Rams four days later. That's presumably what the Vikings expect, as it otherwise wouldn't make any sense to open Hockenson's 21-day practice window Friday instead of waiting until next week or the week after.
The Vikings announced Friday that Hockenson (knee) has been designated to return to practice from the reserve/PUP list. Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell has made clear that Minnesota's plan was to get Hockenson back on the practice field Friday, after traveling with the team to London in preparation for Sunday's matchup against the Jets. That gives the Vikings a 21-day window to monitor Hockenson at practice. The standout tight end can be activated at any point in that span and then be eligible for game days, though it doesn't seem like he's in consideration to come back this weekend. After a Week 6 bye, the Vikings will play two games in quick succession, facing the Lions on Sunday, Oct. 20 and the Rams on Thursday, Oct. 24. Hockenson, who is recovering from right ACL and MCL tears sustained late last December, could more realistically make his return to play in one of those contests.
Tonyan signed with the Vikings' 53-man roster from their practice squad Thursday. Tonyan has been elevated each of the last two weeks, seeing 10 snaps on offense, but not yet receiving a target. The veteran tight end's promotion comes with Josh Oliver (wrist) currently questionable for Sunday's game in London against the Jets and T.J. Hockenson (knee) still likely at least another week away from returning. If Oliver is unable to suit up for the contest, Tonyan and Johnny Mundt will likely be the only healthy tight ends for the Vikings in Week 5.
Pace (ankle) practiced in full Thursday. Pace was limited in Wednesday's practice due and has missed back-to-back games due to an ankle injury, but it appears he's now returned to full health. The inside linebacker racked up 15 tackles (10 solo) throughout Minnesota's first two games of the season, so his return will be a notable boost for the starting defense during Sunday's game against the Jets.
Powell (chest) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday. Powell has logged back-to-back limited practice sessions due to a chest injury. He was briefly forced out of Minnesota's win over Green Bay in Week 4, but was able to return to the field. That bodes well for Powell's chances of gaining clearance to play Sunday against the Jets, as long as he's able to avoid any setbacks in Friday's practice.
Oliver (wrist) is listed as a limited participant on Thursday's injury report. Oliver continues to manage a wrist injury sustained in Week 3, one which he managed to play through during Minnesota's win over the Packers in Week 4. He was also limited in practice Wednesday. Barring any setbacks, Oliver still looks on track to suit up for Sunday's game against the Jets in London and continue splitting reps at the tight-end position alongside Johnny Mundt.
