If Harrison Smith returns to the Vikings, what’s fair to expect?
One week ago, you’d have been hard-pressed to find a Minnesota Vikings fan who wasn’t in favor of Harrison Smith returning to the team for a 15th season.

Vikings Sign CB Bryce Phillips, Place Jamal Adams on IR
The Minnesota Vikings announced a roster move on Monday morning, signing cornerback Bryce Phillips to their 90-man roster. They facilitated this move by placing safety Jamal Adams on injured reserve, officially ending his season following the injury he suffered in Saturday’s preseason opener. Phillips went undrafted in this past April’s NFL Draft and initially signed […]
Jamal Adams’ Knee Injury Confirmed as Season-Ending
We were expecting the worst when we saw safety/linebacker Jamal Adams get carted off the field in the second quarter of the Minnesota Vikings’ 13-10 preseason win over the New York Giants on Saturday afternoon at MetLife Stadium.

Minnesota Vikings 13, New York Giants 10: Vikings Get Win, But Injury Concerns Loom
The Minnesota Vikings kicked off their 2026 preseason on Saturday afternoon, and they did not meet the primary goal of every preseason game, as they have a couple of potentially significant injury concerns that they are awaiting word on.

Jamal Adams Carted Off Field Against Giants
The primary objective of every preseason game is to just make it through without any significant injuries.

When Kevin O’Connell and the Minnesota Vikings announced that Kyler Murray would start in Week 1 over incumbent(ish) J.J. McCarthy, it unleashed a stream of takes ranging from “least surprising news ever” to “this is a traitorous offense!” You can pretty much guess who the usual suspects were for each reaction, but to say the […]
