The Vikings are open to trading Greenard (shoulder), Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Greenard could be a cap casualty with Minnesota currently dealing with salary-cap issues. The 28-year-old racked up 24.5 sacks across the 2023 and 2024 seasons but had a down season in 2025, recording just 38 tackles (19 solo), including 3.0 sacks, across 12 games.

The Vikings placed Greenard (shoulder) on injured reserve Wednesday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters Wednesday that Greenard would undergo season-ending shoulder surgery, and the latter's placement on injured reserve confirms that he will be sidelined for the rest of the 2025 campaign. The veteran linebacker will shift his focus into progressing enough in his recovery to be fully healthy for the start of the 2026 season.

Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that Greenard (shoulder) will undergo season-ending surgery, Kevin Seifert of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Greenard missed two games due to the shoulder injury he picked up Week 10 then attempted to play through the issue in three consecutive contests, including Sunday's win over the Vikings in which he racked up four assisted tackles including 1.0 sacks. However, the injury is ultimately severe enough that he'll have to now undergo treatment. In Greenard's stead, Dallas Turner figures to inherit a starting role on defense.

Greenard (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Greenard suffered an apparent shoulder injury in the fourth quarter, and his status for the stretch run of Sunday Night Football is now in doubt. In his absence, Dallas Turner is a candidate to see increased playing time at linebacker versus the Cowboys.

Greenard had two total tackles as he played as the backup to starter Dallas Turner in Sunday's win over Washington. Greenard said he's still working through a left shoulder injury, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Greenard has been battling a sore shoulder since suffering the injury Nov. 9. He played on 29 of the defense's 52 snaps, though that is an increase from last week when he played just 15 snaps (22 percent). He could see more work Week 15 at Dallas as he works his way back to full strength.

Greenard (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

EDGE Analysis

Greenard will look to string together consecutive starts after missing Week 11 and Week 12 with a shoulder injury. The linebacker was on a snap count last week, logging just 22 percent of Minnesota's defensive snaps. If the shoulder injury is still a lingering issue this trend could continue, meaning Dallas Turner will likely get a healthy snap share similar to Week 13.

Greenard (shoulder) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Greenard returned to the lineup last week after missing the previous two games with a shoulder injury, but he played just 15 defensive snaps, his lowest total of the year. It's possible that this will be a lingering issue, which could keep him on a snap count once again in Week 14 versus the Commanders.

Greenard (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

EDGE Analysis

Greenard has been cleared to return Sunday from a two-game absence due to a shoulder injury, which means Dallas Turner will likely revert to a rotational role at edge rusher. Prior to his injury, Greenard accumulated 31 tackles (19 solo), including 2.0 sacks, three pass defenses and one forced fumble across nine regular-season games.

Greenard (shoulder) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday in Seattle, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Greenard took a designation into the weekend after he was a limited participant in practice Wednesday through Friday, but he looks like he's on track to be cleared ahead of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. After tallying at least 12.0 sacks in both of the previous two seasons, Greenard has been limited to just two through nine appearances with Minnesota in 2025.

Greenard (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

EDGE Analysis

Greenard logged limited practices throughout the week, making five consecutive limited practices since he left the Week 10 game against the Ravens with a shoulder injury. The consistent stringing together of practices means there is a good chance the weakside linebacker is able to suit up for Sunday's game. If Greenard can't go, Dallas Turner is in line for the same uptick in defensive snaps that he saw in Week 11 and Week 12.
