Limited playing time in Week 15
Yurosek wasn't targeted while taking the field for just one of the Vikings' 55 snaps on offense in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Yurosek was active for the first time since Week 11 but once again handled a muted role on offense. Through nine appearances on the season, the reserve tight end has logged 73 total snaps on offense and has produced a five-yard reception on two targets.

Healthy scratch Week 12
Yurosek (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Green Bay.
Analysis: Yurosek will be a healthy scratch for the first time this season, as the Vikings will go with three tight ends on the active roster in T.J. Hockenson, Josh Oliver and Ben Sims for Sunday's NFC North clash. Yurosek's next opportunity to play is Week 13 against the Seahawks on Sunday, Nov. 30.

Gets first career reception
Yurosek had one reception for five yards on two targets in Thursday's loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: It was Yurosek's first career reception as he got increased playing time (15 snaps on offense) after Josh Oliver left with a foot injury. Yurosek could have a larger role if Oliver misses time, but he'll likely be used mostly as a blocking tight end.

Past knee injury
Yurosek (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Analysis: Yurosek missed the Vikings' two games prior to the Week 6 bye due to a knee injury. He didn't appear on the injury report heading into Week 7, which indicates that the 23-year-old tight end should be available to play against Philadelphia. Yurosek did not record a catch or target through the first three games of the regular season.

Not available Sunday
Yurosek (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns in London.
Analysis: Yurosek will miss his second straight game due to the knee injury he sustained in the Vikings' Week 3 win over the Bengals. The undrafted rookie tight end has held a minor role on offense over his three appearances this season, but his absence will be more noteworthy on special teams, where he's a regular part of the Vikings' coverage units.

Questionable for Week 5
Yurosek (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns.
Analysis: The 23-year-old upgraded to a limited practice session Friday after logging consecutive DNPs to begin the Vikings' week of practice, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday. However, if Yurosek is forced to miss the Week 5 contest, Minnesota's tight-end room will likely consist of just T.J. Hockenson, Josh Oliver and Nick Vannett.

Logs DNP on Wednesday
Yurosek (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: The Georgia product was sidelined in Minnesota's Week 4 loss to the Steelers due to a knee injury. He's played 66 total snaps (27 on offense, 39 on special teams) through the team's first three games this season, failing to draw a target. Yurosek likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday or Friday in order to play in the Week 5 matchup against the Browns.
