O'Neill is being evaluated for a concussion and has been deemed questionable to return to Monday's wild-card matchup against the Rams, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill departed in the fourth quarter, so there's not much time for him to return to the contest. David Quessenberry has entered at right tackle in O'Neill's stead.

O'Neill (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Seahawks and is expected to play.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill was banged up in last Monday night's win over the Bears but is good to go for Week 16 versus Seattle.

Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Tuesday that O'Neill (knee) is "sore" after Monday's 30-12 win over the Bears, but that he's trending in the right direction to play Sunday at Seattle, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Connell said O'Neill "should be able to work through the week" en route to Sunday's road matchup against the Seahawks. The starting right tackle was forced out of the first half of Monday's divisional win, but he managed to return after Minnesota's first series of the second half with a brace on his knee, Dave Mitzutani of the Twin Cities Pioneer Press reports.

O'Neill (foot) took part in practice Friday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill played in only one of Minnesota's final four games last season with what was eventually disclosed as a small fracture in his left foot. He appears to be back to full health and is slated to work as the Vikings' starting right tackle for the 2024 campaign.

O'Neill disclosed Jan. 8 at the end of the regular season that he had been playing through a small fracture in his left foot before sitting out three of the Vikings' final four games, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Kevin O'Connell had previously said that O'Neill was managing a left ankle sprain when the left tackle initially sustained the injury in a Dec. 10 win over the Raiders. Though O'Neill had previously dealt with a partially torn Achilles' tendon during the 2022 season, he noted that the foot fracture is a far more painful injury. He'll continue to recover from the injury over the next few months, but he should enter training camp with no restrictions, if he's not cleared for OTAs before then.

O'Neill (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Lions, Matthew Coller of Purple Insider reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill practiced fully Wednesday, but the veteran right tackle will miss his third game in the last four weeks. O'Neill returned last week but lasted just two offensive snaps before getting hurt again. David Quessenberry will likely make another start.

The Vikings estimated O'Neill (ankle) as a full participant at Wednesday's practice walk-through.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill has missed Minnesota's past two contests due to an ankle injury, but he appears set to play Sunday versus Green Bay. His expected return will likely push David Quessenberry back to a depth role.

O'Neill (ankle) is inactive Sunday against the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill started the week with back-to-back DNPs, but he was able to close out the week with a limited practice, creating some hope he'd be able to suit up. However, the Pittsburgh product will miss a second consecutive game. David Quessenberry will likely draw the start at right tackle.

O'Neill (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran offensive lineman could be trending in the right direction to play Sunday, as he's gone from opening Minnesota's week of practice with back-to-back DNPs to logging a limited session Friday. If O'Neill is unable to suit up in Week 16, David Quessenberry would likely get the nod at right tackle.
