Ham had one carry for a one-yard touchdown in Sunday's win at Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
It was a rare carry for Ham, who has just one this season and four in his last three seasons. Ham is one of the league's best blocking fullbacks, but he rarely touches the ball, even at the goal line.

Ham (hand) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Ham has missed the past two games due to a hand injury he sustained in the Week 7 loss to the Eagles, but he has been cleared to play Sunday. In just two games this season, Ham has logged 24 offensive snaps and 35 special teams snaps. The 32-year-old fullback will look to be back on the field Sunday contributing to the Vikings' rushing attack and special teams unit.

Ham (hand) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Ham was unable to play against the Chargers in Week 8 due to a hand injury he picked up against the Eagles in Week 7. He's missed the first two practices of Week 9 prep, and he'll have to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday to have a realistic chance of playing against the Lions on Sunday. Without another fullback on the active roster, the Vikings would continue to lean on tight ends Josh Oliver (foot) and Ben Yurosek to handle backfield blocking duties if Ham is not cleared to play.

Ham (hand) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Chargers, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ham was a DNP at practice during the condensed week due to a left hand injury that he sustained against the Eagles on Sunday, and the veteran fullback will be sidelined for Thursday's game as a result. The Vikings don't have another fullback on the roster, but they could use tight ends such as Josh Oliver, Ben Yurosek and practice squad member Nick Vannett as blockers out of the backfield for Week 8. Ham's next opportunity to play is Week 9 against the Lions on Sunday, Nov. 2.

Ham (hand) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough.
EDGE Analysis
Ham has opened the week with back-to-back DNPs due to a left hand injury that he sustained against the Eagles on Sunday. He would have to practice in at least a limited capacity Wednesday in order to have a realistic chance of playing against the Chargers on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis
Had had one reception for five yards in the loss. It was his first carry or reception of the season as he's used almost exclusively as a blocker.

Ham (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns in London.
EDGE Analysis
Ham was sidelined for the Vikings' first four games of the season, but he returned to practice this week as a full participant and was activated from injured reserve Saturday, so the writing was on the wall for him to make his 2025 debut Sunday. The 32-year-old is the lone fullback on the Vikings' roster, but in past seasons, he's typically been a part-time contributor on offense and has served mainly as a blocker. Ham is also a key part of Minnesota's special-teams units.

The Vikings activated Ham (knee) off injured reserve Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Ham missed the team's first four games of the campaign but should have a chance to make his season debut during Sunday's matchup versus the Browns. If the 32-year-old ends up playing, he will look to help open up holes in the run game for Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott against a stout Cleveland defense.

Ham (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns in London.
EDGE Analysis
The fullback missed the Vikings' first four games of the season while recovering from a knee injury but could be ready to make his 2025 debut after turning in a trio of full practices this week. Ham currently remains on injured reserve, so the Vikings will need to add him back to the 53-man roster by Saturday in order for him to be eligible to play in Week 5.
