Shines in second campaign
Redmond tallied 62 tackles (33 solo), including 6.0 sacks, five defensed passes, a forced fumble and two recovered fumbles over 17 games during the 2025-26 regular season.
Analysis: After starting just two of the 13 regular-season games in which he appeared as a rookie, Redmond made 15 starts in 17 contests this season. The undrafted Oklahoma product earned the role with a strong campaign that included 6.0 sacks -- fourth-most on the Vikings. Redmond is slated to be an exclusive rights free agent, and he'll almost certainly be back with Minnesota next season, perhaps with a much-deserved multiyear contract in tow.

Should be good to go for Week 14
Redmond (hip) was a full practice participant Thursday.
Analysis: Redmond was deemed limited at practice Wednesday due to a lingering hip injury, but he was able to upgrade to a full session one day later. Redmond played through the issue Week 13 against Seattle and appears to be on track to do so again this Sunday versus Washington.

Back on injury report
Redmond (hip) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Redmond dealt with this hip injury last week but still managed to suit up and play 70 percent of the defensive snaps in the Week 13 loss to the Seahawks. With limited participation to start the week, Redmond has a great chance to play this Sunday versus the Commanders. The second-year nose tackle has piled up 43 tackles (25 solo), 4.0 sacks and three pass breakups across 12 games.

Cleared to play vs. Seattle
Redmond (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Analysis: Redmond ended the week with back-to-back limited practices due to a hip injury, but he has been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. The second-year pro has accumulated 40 tackles (23 solo), including 4.0 sacks, three pass defenses and one forced fumble through 11 regular-season games.

Questionable with hip issue
Redmond (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Analysis: Redmond was a new addition to the injury report Thursday and was able to log only two limited practices as he nurses a hip injury. If the starting nose tackle has not recovered enough to suit up Sunday, Levi Drake Rodriguez and Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins will likely be asked to take more defensive snaps on the interior.

Nursing hip injury
Redmond (hip) was estimated as a limited participant on Thursday's practice report, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Redmond wasn't listed on Wednesday's practice report, so it's unclear whether the hip injury is something he sustained during practice or the Vikings' Week 12 loss to the Packers. Regardless, Friday's practice report will shed more light on his chances of playing Sunday against the Seahawks. If Redmond is not cleared to play, then Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins and Levi Drake Rodriguez would be in line for more snaps on the Vikings' defensive line.

Cleared for Week 10
Redmond (shin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Analysis: Redmond logged 58 defensive snaps with three total tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the Vikings' victory against the Lions this past Sunday. While it is unclear when he suffered the shin injury, it appears to be resolved as he is clear of an injury designation and ready to play Sunday. The starting nose tackle will look to have another strong performance this Sunday against a rejuvenated Ravens team.

Tending to shin issue
Redmond (shin) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Redmond played a very healthy 58 defensive snaps in Week 9 at Detroit, and it's not immediately clear when he suffered the shin injury. He has two more chances to manage a full practice before Minnesota releases its last practice report of the week Friday.

Tallies 2.0 sacks Sunday
Redmond notched three tackles, including 2.0 sacks, in a Week 4 loss to Pittsburgh on Sunday.
Analysis: Redmond recorded both of Minnesota's sacks in the defeat. The Oklahoma product didn't take long to make an impact, bringing down Aaron Rodgers for an eight-yard loss on the first play of the game. Redmond later got to Rodgers again for a 10-yard loss in the second period. Through four weeks, Redmond has 3.0 sacks after recording just 1.0 sacks across 13 regular-season contests last year.

Two tackles in season opener
Redmond started at defensive tackle and had two total tackles and a QB hurry in Monday's win at Chicago.

Contributes across 13 games
Redmond made 18 tackles (10 solo), including 1.0 sacks, across 13 regular-season appearances with the Vikings in 2024. He also had two passes defensed.
Analysis: Redmond, who missed his rookie season due to injury back in 2023, made his first career NFL appearances with Minnesota in 2024. As a pending exclusive-rights free agent, Redmond won't be able to negotiate with other clubs if the Vikings offer him a one-year contract at the league minimum salary.

Returning in Week 17
Redmond (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers.
Analysis: Redmond was sidelined for Minnesota's Week 16 win over the Seahawks after sustaining a concussion the week prior. However, he practiced in full both Thursday and Friday and has no injury designation for Sunday's divisional matchup, suggesting he's cleared the NFL's five-step protocol. Expect Redmond to serve as one of the Vikings' top reserve defensive ends in the Week 17 contest.

Won't play Sunday
Redmond (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks.
Analysis: Redmond entered the NFL's five-step concussion protocol following the Vikings' Week 15 win over the Bears and was unable to practice all week, making it no surprise that he'll be sidelined in Week 16. Jihad Ward is likely to serve as Minnesota's top rotational defensive end in Redmond's stead Sunday.

In concussion protocol
Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Tuesday that Redmond (concussion) is in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Redmond notched two tackles (one solo) while playing 41 percent of defensive snaps during Monday's 30-12 win over the Bears, but it appears that he sustained a concussion in the process. The rotational defensive lineman will now need to fully clear the NFL's concussion protocol before being eligible to return to game action, making his status uncertain for Sunday's road matchup against Seattle.

Minnesota bound
Redmond (undisclosed) has agreed to terms on a contract with the Vikings per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston.
Analysis: Redmond was waived with an injury settlement by the Panthers prior to the kickoff of the 2023 season. With him signing to the Vikings' roster, it appears his health is back up to par going forward. The defensive tackle will now look to earn a spot in Minnesota's defensive trenches for the upcoming season.
