  • Vikings' Andrew Van Ginkel: Leads Minnesota in tackles Sunday

    Van Ginkel recorded six total tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Sunday's 34-7 win over the Texans.

    Van Ginkel played a major role in the Vikings' statement performance in Week 3, holding a high-powered Texans offense to just seven points. He was one of three Vikings to sack C.J. Stroud during Sunday's contest, while also leading the team in total tackles. Van Ginkel, a first-year Viking, appears to be fitting into defensive coordinator Brian Flores' scheme well through his first three games, and he's expected to continue wreaking havoc on opposing quarterbacks as the season progresses.

  • Vikings' Andrew Van Ginkel: Full practice participant Thursday

    Van Ginkel (foot) practiced in full Thursday.

    Van Ginkel opened the week as a limited practice participant Wednesday, but he was able to go through drills without restrictions Thursday. Barring any setbacks, he should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Texans. The 2019 fifth-round pick has tallied eight tackles (six solo), including 2.0 sacks, and a pick-six over the first two games of the regular season.

  • Vikings' Andrew Van Ginkel: Limited Wednesday

    Van Ginkel (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Van Ginkel played through his foot issue in the Vikings' Week 2 win over the 49ers, so his limited participation Wednesday is likely precautionary. However, if the Wisconsin product's injury is too much to overcome in Week 3, expect Dallas Turner (knee) and Pat Jones to see increased snaps on Minnesota's first-team defense.

  • Vikings' Andrew Van Ginkel: Upgraded to limited Thursday

    Van Ginkel (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice session.

    Van Ginkel did not participate in Wednesday's practice, but he was able to see the field in a restricted capacity Thursday. His participation in Friday's practice will give a better sense on his availability for the Vikings' Week 2 showdown against the 49ers on Sunday. Van Ginkel accrued four tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, and returned an interception for a touchdown in the Vikings' Week 1 victory over the Giants.

  • Vikings' Andrew Van Ginkel: Dealing with foot injury

    Van Ginkel (foot) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Van Ginkel was all over the field during his Vikings debut in Week 1, but it now appears he could be in jeopardy of missing time due to a foot injury. The Wisconsin product's practice participation Thursday and Friday will provide a better indication of whether Van Ginkel will be able to suit up in Week 2. If he remains hindered by this foot issue throughout the week, expect 2024 first-round pick Dallas Turner to see increased work with the Vikings' first-team defense.
