The Minnesota Vikings are optimistic about right tackle Brian O’Neill's availability for their upcoming game against the Seattle Seahawks despite a knee injury sustained in their recent victory over the Chicago Bears.
Coach Kevin O’Connell confirmed O’Neill is sore but should be able to practice this week. Meanwhile, cornerback Stephon Gilmore is also expected to return after missing two games due to a hamstring injury.
In other injury news, defensive tackle Jalen Redmond has entered concussion protocol, and cornerback Fabian Moreau is dealing with a hip issue. Defensive tackle Jonathan Bullard reflected on his improved performance this season, attributing it to experience and support from coaches and teammates.
The Vikings defense effectively contained Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, limiting his rushing ability significantly compared to previous encounters. The team is preparing to face the Seahawks as they aim to maintain their strong season record.
