Thayer Thomas - In concussion protocol Thomas entered the league's concussion protocol Thursday, ESPN.com reports.
Blake Cashman - Underwent finger surgery Cashman suffered a finger injury that required surgery Wednesday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Coach Kevin O'Connell said Cashman will return once his stitches heal. It's not a long-term issue, and Cashman should be fine for Week 1. Signed to a three-year deal back in March, Cashman is coming off a career year last season in Houston, finishing with 106 tackles (56 solo), two sacks, one interception and one fumble recovery. He should be a tackling machine for Minnesota.

Jordan Addison - Avoids major injury Coach Kevin O'Connell said Thursday that Addison (ankle) did not suffer a major injury during Wednesday's practice, when he was carted off the field, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com repo...
Impact O'Connell affirmed his Wednesday comments downplaying the second-year wide receiver's injury, saying "I don't see [Addison] missing any extended time." That's encouraging news, so though Addison seems unlikely for Saturday's exhibition contest against Cleveland, he could be a candidate to return in time for the Vikings' preseason finale at Philadelphia on Aug. 24.

Nick Mullens - Becomes backup QB Mullens will start Saturday's preseason game at Cleveland, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. He's set to become the backup quarterback to starter Sam Darnold with J.J. McCarthy...
Impact Jaren Hall will win the third quarterback role as a result as well. Mullens was mediocre in five games (three starts) after Kirk Cousins suffered a season-ending injury last year, averaging 8.8 YPA but throwing eight interceptions. Still, he's a veteran who can fill in and have a strong game or two with his aggressive style if Darnold is injured.

Jabril Cox - Reverts to injured reserve Cox (undisclosed) reverted to the Vikings' injured reserve list Wednesday after going unclaimed off waviers, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact With Cox on injured reserve, the 26-year-old linebacker will be forced to sit for the entire 2024 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Minnesota. The 2021 fourth-rounder registered two solo tackles across 10 regular-season outings with the Commanders in 2023.

Impact Addison will undergo further tests on his ankle, per Alec Lewis of The Athletic, but the belief is that the second-year pro has avoided a serious injury. O'Connell said of Addison "I think he's going to be OK," Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Even if Addison has avoided a major injury, it seems likely that he'll be held out of Saturday's preseason game against the Browns. With J.J. McCarthy (knee) having undergone season-ending surgery Wednesday, Addison looks set to catch passes from Sam Darnold to begin the regular season.

Sam Darnold - Positioned as starter for 2024 Darnold will open Week 1 under center and for Minnesota and could start the entire 2024 season with 10th overall pick J.J. McCarthy (knee) having undergone season-ending surgery W...
Impact Darnold figures to dominate the remainder of first-team reps in training camp and preseason action for the Vikings, while Nick Mullens shifts to the No. 2 role. The team will doubtless explore adding further options to the quarterback room with McCarthy done for the year, but if Darnold is able to competently command the offense, he now has a clear path to a season-long starting gig. There's no guarantee that Darnold -- who has never suited up for more than 13 games in a season in his seven-year career -- can accomplish that task, but he is arguably in the best environment he's seen in the NFL. No. 1 wide receiver Justin Jefferson may be the most reliable target in the league, Jordan Addison appears primed to build upon a productive rookie campaign, and T.J. Hockenson (knee) is a premier tight end option, when healthy. There could be downside if Addision ends up facing a suspension for his offseason arrest, or if Hockenson's recovery from an ACL tear stretches into the later portion of the regular season, but in fantasy leagues that allow for multiple starting quarterbacks Darnold now looks like an intriguing late-round flier.
