Myles Gaskin

The Vikings opened up a spot on their 53-man roster on Tuesday.

He was active in five games, taking three carries. Gaskin hasn't received more than 10 carries in a season since 2021. It's possible he'll sign back to the Minnesota practice squad after clearing waivers.

The Vikings opened up a spot on their 53-man roster on Tuesday.

Like T.J. Hockenson (knee, injured reserve), Risner was ruled out earlier Thursday. The hope is that he is ready for Week 9. Joining Risner and Hockenson on the shelf are CB Akayleb Evans, CB Dwight McGlothern, RB Myles Gaskin, DL Levi Drake Rodriguez, LB Blake Cashman and OT Walter Rouse.

Jones returned to practice on Thursday. He was listed as questionable after another limited session on Friday and is good to go now. In a potential shootout with Detroit, he will rank as a high-risk RB2. Ty Chandler could still see some extra touches to help keep Jones fresh, making him a viable FLEX play for Week 7. Inactive for the Vikings are LB Blake Cashman, DL Levi Drake Rodriguez, RB Myles Gaskin, CB Dwight McGlothern, OT Walter Rouse, and QB Brett Rypien.
