Pruitt (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Pruitt has yet to make his regular season debut as he continues to recover from the knee injury he suffered during the preseason. Starter Kyle Rudolph (groin) is also a bit banged up, so the Vikings' tight end situation should be monitored throughout the week.

Pruitt (knee) will not play in the Vikings' Week 2 tilt against the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

Pruitt did not practice at all this week as he's still in recovery from a preseason knee injury. Rhett Ellison projects as starting TE Kyle Rudolph's primary backup.

Pruitt (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

It was seen as a possibility that Pruitt would be able to play in the Vikings' Week 2 matchup with the Packers, but being held out of practice on Wednesday definitely puts his availability in question. Pruitt will have to log practice time in at least a limited fashion these next two days to have a shot at playing Sunday.

Pruitt (knee) has been ruled out for the Vikings' Week 1 matchup against the Titans, the Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pruitt suffered an MCL sprain during Minnesota's third preseason contest and was given a 2-to-4 week timetable to return. That estimation would suggest there's a possibility he plays in the Vikings' home opener Week 2, but his involvement in practice next week will shed more light on his future availability.

Pruitt (leg) is expected to miss 2-to-4 weeks after an MRI revealed he suffered a sprained MCL, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

The second-year tight end sustained the injury in Sunday's preseason win over the Chargers. He had 11 yards on one reception to go along with a lost fumble prior to exiting the contest. Pruitt and rookie David Morgan have been competing to backup Kyle Rudolph at tight end, so Morgan may have an opportunity to showcase his skill set with Pruitt sidelined the first few weeks of the season. Regardless, both expect to assume limited roles behind Rudolph.

Pruitt left Sunday's preseason win over San Diego with a left leg injury and will have an MRI on Monday, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pruitt had one reception for 11 yards during the game but lost a fumble on the play and was also apparently injured. Pruitt isn't likely to have a large role in the offense as long as Kyle Rudolph remains healthy. He may also have been bypassed on the depth chart by rookie David Morgan due to his blocking ability.

Pruitt had one reception for 12 yards in Thursday's preseason game.

EDGE Analysis

Pruitt isn't likely to have a large role in the offense as long as Kyle Rudolph remains healthy. He may also have been bypassed on the depth chart by rookie David Morgan due to his blocking ability. There was a thought last year that Pruitt could get significant playing time if the Vikings used two-TE sets, but that doesn't appear to be in the works for this season.

Pruitt caught two passes for 22 yards in Sunday's loss to Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Pruitt hauled in both of his targets Sunday to post his second-best receiving output of his rookie season. With Kyle Rudolph in the fold as the team's top tight end, Pruitt only saw 16 passes thrown his way in the regular season as a reserve-type option. That said, with Rudolph's lengthy injury history, the Vikings will need to continue developing Pruitt into a viable tight end should Rudolph find himself on the inactive list at any point next season.

Pruitt had two receptions for a season-high 36 yards in Thursday's loss to Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Pruitt has had a catch in seven of the last eight games as he's become a consistent part of the offense as the third tight end. However, he hasn't had more than three targets in any game which limits his fantasy value.

Pruitt had two receptions for 13 yards on three targets in Sunday's win over Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Pruitt had his first catch in Minnesota's last game and is starting to get involved in the offense. He's not getting enough touches for viable fantasy value, but his role could grow later in the season.
