Minnesota released Odell Beckham Jr. and is bringing him back on the practice squad.


The Raiders are sending Kirk Cousins back to Minnesota for a 2027 third-round pick; Fernando Mendoza takes over in Las Vegas.

Kyler Murray (hamstring) is week-to-week; Carson Wentz starts Monday night vs. Buffalo.

Aaron Jones will play in Week 8 against the Lions.
Our Take: Good news for a Vikings team we called "so difficult to trust" despite its 6-0 record. Minnesota has the Lions, Bills, Packers and 49ers in its next four games, and it now has the toughest remaining slate in our NFL strength of schedule rankings, so getting Jones back quickly matters.

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson was a full participant in practice Thursday, according to Pro Football Talk.

The Vikings have designated RB Jordan Mason for return from IR. His practice window opens, though he remains on IR.
