Josh Oliver Injury Status

Minnesota Vikings • TE
Latest Injury Status
Injured Reserve
IR

Oliver's move to IR was expected after the tight end was diagnosed with a torn bicep Monday. The tight end will likely miss most, if not all, of the 2026 season as he recovers from surgery. T.J. Hockenson and Gavin Bartholomew are now the only tight ends on the Vikings' roster, meaning practice-squad elevations ahead of Week 4 will likely include at least one more option at the position. The Vikings signed linebacker Kyle Van Noy to the 53-man roster in a corresponding move.
