Vikings to practice today without WR Justin Jefferson (ankle), P Brett Thorson (hamstring) and CB Chuck Demmings (hamstring), per O'Connell KOC: "Consider Justin to be day-to-day. He's feeling a little bit better ... we'll try to get him to a place where maybe he can go ... we'll be smart about it"

It’s still crazy to me that the “JJ to JJ” connection that all of us #Vikings fans were so excited about after the 2024 draft yielded a grand total of exactly two (2) touchdowns.

Fun facts from the Week 3 #Vikings game via @zebratechnologies.bsky.social: * Myles Price covered 112 yards on his 86-yard punt return touchdown, marking the longest play this season. * Jordan Addison accounted for 68.12% of Minnesota’s air yards, earning 90 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Every time I see the ref walking up the sideline after a punt goes out of bounds, I think of this. Without fail.

Good news on Vikings WR Justin Jefferson: He has an ankle sprain, and the imaging was good today. He avoided anything long-term, and there is a chance he plays on Sunday.

If the Vikings and Giants finish in the same place in their respective divisions this season, the Vikings will host the Giants in 2027. Otherwise, barring a playoff matchup, we’ll have to wait until 2028 for any possible JJ McCarthy Revenge Game.

Trade! The Vikings are sending QB J.J. McCarthy to the Giants for a 2027 fifth-round pick, sources tell The Ringer and Netflix Sports. With Jaxson Dart out for the regular season, New York adds another young QB, while Minnesota gains flexibility and McCarthy gets a fresh start.

Start Nine — JJ McCarthy is the Vikings QB1
They named the rental. The clock starts now. 78% chance Nine starts a game anyway — 96% playoff probability with Nine vs 47% with Kyler. The math didn't change. When, not if.

I was unaware that the Buccaneers set the record for most consecutive games not covering the spread yesterday. 12 in a row!

I have grimaced after at least a half dozen hits Aaron Jones has taken over the past two weeks. The Vikings need RB reinforcements in a bad way.

Eric Thompson @ericjthompson81.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
Honestly I would have punted it there. Vikings offense has done nothing, still had 3 timeouts, and the ball would be closer. And now Baker’s hurt.

At this moment I have much more faith in the other two phases scoring than I do in the offense.

Should’ve been delay of game before the offside, which is what Anzalone is saying

Well yeah, the clock stops after every incompletion and punt, and there have been approximately 193 of those today

The Vikings defense is going to have to stop 7 more Bucs drives at this rate.

Sure, Kyler looks really uncomfortable after the snap, but at least the Vikings are also flirting with delay of game penalties before most of the snaps

I love how Jonathan Vilma applauded the accuracy of Baker Mayfield (who has completed less than half of his passes today) coming out of halftime.
