What happened: Linebacker Kyle Van Noy exited Monday's game against the Buffalo Bills with a calf injury. Minnesota announced he is questionable to return to the contest.
Why it matters: Van Noy, who secured a $2.75M base active-roster deal in October, provides veteran depth to the pass rush. His absence tests Minnesota's edge rotation as the defense contends with a high-powered Buffalo offense.
By the numbers: In 2026 through 7 games, Van Noy has recorded 13 tackles and 1.5 sacks.
What to watch: Minnesota will provide an update on Van Noy's condition after the game.
