The Minnesota Vikings have made several roster moves due to injuries. Wide receiver Justin Jefferson has been placed on injured reserve (IR) and is expected to miss at least four games, including a Week 7 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Running back De'Von Achane and RB James Conner are also expected to miss multiple weeks. However, wide receiver Diontae Johnson is targeting a Week 7 return from IR. Additionally, tight end Dalton Kincaid has been placed in the concussion protocol. The Vikings have worked out a group of eight players, including veteran quarterback Colt McCoy. There is speculation about the Vikings potentially trading quarterback Kirk Cousins and entering a rebuild mode. Despite Jefferson's absence, Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell believes the team still has plenty of playmakers. The Vikings have signed quarterback Sean Mannion to the practice squad, along with receiver Dan Chisena and tight end Troy Fumagalli. Running back Kene Nwangwu has been designated for return from injured reserve.
