Back to health
Tomlinson (knee) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report.
Analysis: Tomlinson missed some time during training camp due to a knee injury, but he was never expected to be in line for an extended absence. His absence from Wednesday's injury report suggests the defensive tackle will be ready to go Week 1 against New Orleans. Tomlinson is slated to start along the Cardinals' defensive line after spending that past two campaigns in Cleveland.

Likely facing short absence
Tomlinson (knee) won't practice Thursday, but coach Jonathan Gannon doesn't expect him to be sidelined for an extended period, Theo Mackie of AZCentral.com reports. "He's doing well but I didn't think it was the right thing to do to put him out there today," Gannon said.
Analysis: Tomlinson's availability for the regular season doesn't appear to be in jeopardy, though he may sit out Saturday's preseason game against the Broncos. He's expected to start on the interior of Arizona's defensive line after signing a two-year, $29 million contract with the Cardinals in March.

Finds new home in desert
The Cardinals signed Tomlinson to a two-year, $29 million contract Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The deal comes with $16 million guaranteed. Tomlinson was officially released by the Browns on Monday afternoon in order to designate him as a post-June 1 cut, and he's quickly back on his feet in the desert. Tomlinson was a 16-game starter for Cleveland last season and piled up 26 tackles (13 solo), including 3.0 sacks. He figures to slide right in as a starting defensive tackle for Arizona.

Designated as post-June 1 cut
The Browns released Tomlinson on Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The move was expected, but the Browns had to wait for the new league year to start in order to designate the veteran defensive tackle as a post-June 1 cut. With the move, Cleveland clears more than $6.4 million in cap space but incurs $5.042 million in dead money. The 31-year-old started all 16 regular-season games in which he appeared last season, ringing up 26 tackles (13 solo), including 3.0 sacks. He's started all 125 games he's appeared in across eight seasons in the league and should be…read more

Set to be cut by Cleveland
The Browns informed Tomlinson (knee) on Monday that he will be released as a post-June 1 cut, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Although Tomlinson won't be released by the Browns until after June 1, Schefter relays that the veteran defensive tackle can officially sign with any team when the new league year starts Wednesday. Tomlinson played in 16 regular-season games for the Browns in 2024 and finished with 26 tackles (13 solo), including 3.0 sacks. The 2017 second-round pick should garner plenty of interest from teams looking to bolster their interior defensive line.

Missing Week 18
Tomlinson (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Ravens.
Analysis: Tomlinson was originally considered questionable for the Week 18 divisional matchup after sustaining a knee injury at Wednesday's practice. However, he's since been downgraded to out, meaning his 2024 campaign is over. Tomlinson appeared in 16 games for the Browns this season, recording 26 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks. Jowon Briggs is likely the next man up at defensive tackle for Cleveland on Saturday.

Questionable to play Baltimore
Tomlinson (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Ravens, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Tomlinson suffered a knee injury during Wednesday's practice, though head coach Kevin Stefanski said that the veteran defensive tackle escaped a major injury. Tomlinson didn't practice Thursday, and his status for Saturday's regular-season finale is up in the air. Jowon Briggs would likely start at defensive tackle alongside Mike Hall if Tomlinson is not cleared to play.

Ready to resume practicing
The Browns removed Tomlinson (knee) from the active/PUP list Monday.
Analysis: Tomlinson passed his physical Monday, meaning he's now cleared to resume practicing after having missed all of training camp and the preseason. The starting defensive tackle spent time sidelined due to an offseason knee procedure. He now has two weeks remaining to get in game shape ahead of Cleveland's regular-season opener on Sept. 8 against the Cowboys.

Undergoes surgery
Tomlinson underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Friday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Cleveland head Kevin Stefanski indicated the surgery was successful but did not offer a timeline for Tomlinson's return. The team is hoping he'll be ready to go for the season opener, Sept. 8, against the Cowboys. Tomlinson's main contribution in 2023 was to occupy bodies and set up sacks for edge rushers.

Will undergo knee scope
Tomlinson will have a scope on his injured knee, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: While Tomlinson will be sidelined for the time being, head coach Kevin Stefanski expects him to be ready for the start of the regular season. Once healthy, the 2017 second-round pick should start at defensive tackle alongside Shelby Harris.

Shifts to PUP list
The Browns placed Tomlinson (knee) on the active/PUP list Wednesday.
Analysis: Tomlinson now seems to be dealing with a knee injury that will sideline him for the beginning of Cleveland's training camp. The veteran defensive tackle is coming off a productive first year with the Browns, posting 28 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, across 16 appearances in 2023. Once Tomlinson returns to form, he's expected to remain the Browns' top interior defensive lineman.

Gets defense off field
Tomlinson had four tackles, including 2.5 sacks, and three total quarterback hits in Sunday's 27-0 win over the Cardinals in Week 9.
Analysis: All three sacks that Tomlinson was involved in came on a third down and got the Browns defense off the field. It was the first multi-sack game of his career and gave him three for the season.

Cashes in with Cleveland
Tomlinson agreed to a four-year, $57.5 million contract with the Browns on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Tomlinson's deal -- which can't be consummated until the new league year begins Wednesday -- includes $27.5 million guaranteed. The 29-year-old defensive tackle has been remarkably consistent, totaling between 39 and 59 tackles in each of his six NFL seasons. Cleveland will be Tomlinson's third team, as he spent the past two seasons in Minnesota after opening his career with the Giants for four years.

More time for negotiations
Tomlinson and the Vikings agreed Wednesday to move his contract's voiding date to March 15, buying more time for extension negotiations, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Tomlinson's contract would have caused Minnesota to push $7.5 million of dead money into 2023, but if both sides can agree on a new extension, it could eliminate that entire amount as an immediate cap hit. Though Tomlinson was limited to a career-low 523 defensive snaps after a calf injury forced him to miss four games, he still managed to rack up 40 tackles and two sacks in 13 contests.

Set to hit free agency
Tomlinson tallied 42 tackles (20 solo), including 2.5 sacks, and one fumble recovery while playing 13 regular-season games in 2022.
Analysis: Tomlinson was limited to a career-low 523 defensive snaps due to his four-week hiatus with a calf injury midway through the season. Nevertheless, the 325-pounder still compiled over 40 tackles and two sacks for the fifth time in his six-year career. Tomlinson is now set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and, with Minnesota currently $24.5 million over the cap heading into the offseason, he could be set to play elsewhere during his age-29 season in 2023.

Season-high tackles
Tomlinson recorded nine tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 34-23 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Analysis: Tomlinson's nine stops included one for a loss, which was his first TFL on the season. He also recorded a hit on the quarterback, which was his sixth on the year. The 28-year-old continues to have a solid season, which will likely see him post his highest total tackles since 2018 (59), while his 1.5 sacks puts him within reach of his career high 3.5. He'll work to keep adding to those numbers Saturday against the Colts.

Tomlinson (calf) was listed as a full participant on the Vikings' injury report Wednesday.
Analysis: Tomlinson suffered a calf injury during Minnesota's Week 8 win over the Cardinals, and he was deemed a limited participant on each of the team's practice reports Week 12. However, the 325-pound defensive lineman was still ruled inactive for the fourth game in a row ahead of Thursday's win over New England. Tomlinson recorded 20 tackles and 1.5 sacks while playing all but 26 of his 310 snaps on defense over the first seven games of the season, and he now appears set to reprise a starting role…read more

Missing fourth straight game
Tomlinson (calf) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Patriots, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Analysis: Since picking up a calf issue back in Week 8, Tomlinson didn't practice before being designated inactive for each of the Vikings' previous three contests. While the team didn't hold sessions this week, he was listed as limited on all three injury reports, leading to a questionable designation for Week 12. Ultimately, Minnesota will take a cautious approach with Tomlinson and keep him in street clothes Thursday with an eye toward returning to action Sunday, Dec. 4 against the Jets, per Tom…read more

Tomlinson (calf) won't play Sunday against the Commanders, per coach Kevin O'Connell, Ben Goessling of the Star Tribune reports.
Analysis: Tomlinson was injured in Minnesota's Week 8 win over the Cardinals and will miss at least one game as a result. With Tomlinson sidelined, James Lynch and Ross Blacklock should get more opportunities to set the edge against Washington. Tomlinson's next opportunity to play will come against the Bills in Week 10.

Tomlinson (calf) is considered week-to-week as of Monday according to head coach Kevin O'Connell, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com Seifert reports.
Analysis: Tomlinson exited Sunday's win over the Cardinals early and was unable to return. His practice status in the coming days will likely lead to a better idea of whether or not he has a chance to play Sunday against Washington.

Forced out with injury
Tomlinson (calf) was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Tomlinson logged three tackles before exiting with a calf injury Sunday. The 28-year-old recorded 18 tackles and 1.5 sacks on 260 defensive snaps over the first six games of the season, and his absence will leave Minnesota's defensive line short-handed with Jonathan Bullard (illness) and Esezi Otomewo (coach's decision) already ruled inactive ahead of this contest.

Three QB hurries in season opener
Tomlinson had one tackle and three quarterback hurries, according to Pro Football Focus, in Sunday's win over Green Bay.
Analysis: Tomlinson serves as a run suffer along with Harrison Phillips in the interior of Minnesota's 3-4 defense, but he has some modest pass rush skills as well.

Ruled out Sunday
Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said Tomlinson won't be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list in time to play Sunday against the 49ers, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Analysis: Zimmer essentially confirmed that Tomlinson contracted the virus, as Mike Garafolo of NFL Network previously relayed that three of the four NFL players placed on the list Tuesday were the result of positive COVID-19 tests, while multiple reports suggested Joe Flacco was the lone player deactivated as a result of being a close contact of an infected person. Because Tomlinson is an unvaccinated player who tested positive, he'll be subject to an automatic 10-day quarantine, which puts the…read more

Placed on reserve/COVID-19 list
Tomlinson (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday.
Analysis: The defensive tackle is unvaccinated, so depending on whether he tested positive, he may be looking at an extended absence. If positive, Tomlinson will be out at least 10 days, missing the team's Week 12 matchup with the 49ers, but if he was just a close contact, he could rejoin the Vikings in as soon as five days. If Tomlinson is unavailable for Sunday's game, Sheldon Richardson would likely pick up extra reps in his stead.

Four tackles in Vikings debut
Tomlinson had four total tackles and a QB hit in Sunday's overtime loss at Cincinnati.
Analysis: Tomlinson started at defensive tackle and played on 47 of the defense's 69 snaps. He could serve as a run-stopping asset on the defensive line after joining the Vikings in free agency. He has a career high of 3.5 sacks in a season, so he may not add much in the pass rush, however.

Heads to Minnesota
Tomlinson signed a two-year, $22 million deal with the Vikings on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Tomlinson spent the first four seasons of his career with the Giants and managed a combined eight sacks. While those aren't gaudy numbers, he played an important role with the team by logging over 600 defensive snaps in each of his final three campaigns and over 100 special teams snaps in every year of his career. He'll now take on a large role along the Vikings' defensive line.

Sets career high in sacks
Tomlinson made 49 tackles (23 solo), 3.5 sacks and one forced fumble across 16 contests in 2019.
Analysis: Tomlinson saw slightly reduced numbers as a run stopper in 2019, but he made up for that by creating consistent interior pressure after only having notched one sack in his previous two seasons. The 2017 second-round pick will enter the final year of his rookie contract in 2020.

All over field Sunday
Tomlinson racked up nine tackles (two solo) and a sack in Sunday's loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Tomlinson had his most productive output of the season, as he racked up his second sack of the season while playing just 43 total snaps. The 25-year-old only had 22 tackles through the first nine games of the season, so production against the Jets shouldn't be expected on a regular basis. He and the Giants will head into their bye week for Week 11.
