EAGAN, Minn. — The Vikings returned to practice Thursday in advance of visiting the Bills at 7:15 p.m. (CT) Monday to conclude Week 9 of 2026.
The Vikings are also scheduled to practice Friday and Saturday. Players will receive game status designations on Saturday.
Quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) and safety Theo Jackson (quad) did not participate on Thursday.
Vikings Head Coach Kevin O'Connell said earlier Thursday that Murray will be "week-to-week" with a hamstring strain and will not be available for Monday's game. Veteran Carson Wentz will instead make his 101st career start and be backed up by Max Brosmer.
Running back Demond Claiborne (knee), tackle Christian Darrisaw (shoulder), linebacker Jake Golday (calf), receiver Jauan Jennings (calf), cornerback Isaiah Rodgers (ankle), outside linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel (chest) and safety Jay Ward (knee) were listed as limited participants.
