News

  • Gets limited time on defense

    Asamoah had one total tackle and played on 13 of the defense's 67 snaps in Sunday's win over Houston.

    Analysis: Asamoah didn't play on defense the first two games but got some playing time with Ivan Pace sidelined with a quad injury. He mostly gets his playing time on special teams as a backup interior linebacker.

  • Ready to return

    Asamoah (ankle) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's injury report, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Asamoah hasn't played since Week 7, but it appears the second-year pro will be ready to return to the field Monday against the Bears. His ability to suit up should bolster the Vikings' special-teams unit and depth at linebacker.

  • Inactive once again

    Asamoah (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Analysis: Asamoah continues to deal with an ankle injury and will be forced to miss a fourth consecutive game. His next opportunity to return will be Nov. 27 against the Bears.

  • Missing third straight game

    Asamoah (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints.

    Analysis: Asamoah was a limited participant in all three practices leading up to Week 10 but will ultimately sit out for the third straight week. He'll look to make his return in Week 11 against the Broncos.

  • Missing another week

    Asamoah (ankle) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons.

    Analysis: The second-year linebacker was able to log limited practice sessions throughout the week after missing the Vikings' Week 8 win over the Packers, but it now looks like his ankle issue will hold him out for another week. With Asamoah missing more time, Nick Vigil is expected to see an uptick in work in Minnesota's linebacker corps.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Asamoah (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers.

    Analysis: The second-year linebacker out of Oklahoma was held out of practice all week with an ankle injury, so it's no surprise that he'll be inactive this coming Sunday. Asamoah has appeared in all seven of Minnesota's games thus far, recording six total tackles and playing primarily on special teams (57 percent of snaps).

  • Will play Sunday

    Asamoah (toe) is active Sunday against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Asamoah was able to log limited practices throughout the week and he'll be good to go for Week 5. He should continue seeing work on special teams and be a depth option at linebacker for Minnesota.

  • Limited role on defense

    Asamoah had two total tackles in Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay. He played just two snaps on defense.

    Analysis: Asamoah played 12 snaps on special teams. He began training camp as a starting linebacker, but he took a back seat to Ivan Pace during Sunday's game. Asamoah may be limited to special teams unless injuries strike the linebacking corps.

  • Back on practice field

    Asamoah (undisclosed) is back at practice Monday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Asamoah has been sidelined since mid-August due to an undisclosed injury, but he's back on the field for Monday's walkthrough. The 2022 third-round pick looks primed to start at interior linebacker for the Vikings, so it will be helpful if he's able to get back to full health in time to potentially take some reps in Saturday's preseason finale against the Cardinals.

  • Remains sidelined

    Asamoah missed practice Wednesday and has been sidelined with an undisclosed injury since last week, The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The 23-year-old is expected to start for Minnesota at interior linebacker in 2023, so his continued absence is a worry.

  • Dealing with minor injury

    Asamoah was forced to miss Thursday's 24-13 loss to the Seahawks with a minor injury, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: After he was initially expected to play, Asamoah missed the loss due to an undisclosed injury. More information on his status will likely be provided ahead of the Vikings' matchup with the Titans on Aug. 19. Once healthy, the 23-year-old is expected to start for Minnesota at interior linebacker in 2023.

  • Participates during OTAs

    Asamoah (concussion) worked with the second-team defense during the Vikings' recent OTAs, Will Ragatz of Sports Illustrated reports.

    Analysis: Asamoah left with a concussion during Minnesota's 2023 wild-card loss to the Giants, but he has since had the offseason to move past the issue. The 2022 third-round pick played in 16 games during his rookie campaign, tallying 17 tackles and one forced fumble. The second-year linebacker may be competing with Troy Reeder for a starting linebacker role alongside Jordan Hicks, with the Vikings defense moving to a base 3-4 in 2023.

  • Sustains concussion Sunday

    Asamoah won't return to Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Giants due to a concussion.

    Analysis: Asamoah was unavailable for the Vikings' Week 18 win over the Bears due to a knee injury, but he was able to suit up for Sunday's matchup. He didn't record any counting stats prior to being ruled out at halftime. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for the NFC divisional round if the Vikings advance.

  • Practices fully Thursday

    Asamoah (knee) managed to practice fully Thursday.

    Analysis: Asamoah suffered a knee injury in the Vikings' Week 17 loss to the Packers and was unable to play in Week 18. After improving from a limited practice Wednesday, it's likely the rookie will be able to return in some capacity for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Giants.

  • Out Week 18

    Asamoah (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game at Chicago, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Asamoah sustained the injury during last week's loss to the Packers, and he'll be unavailable for the final game of the regular season. The rookie third-round pick recorded 17 tackles (11 solo) and one forced fumble in 16 games this year.

  • Hurts knee Sunday

    Asamoah suffered a knee injury during Sunday's game at Green Bay.

    Analysis: Asamoah visibly limped off the field after Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers' touchdown run in the fourth quarter. With a health concern confirmed, Asamoah likely will end Week 17 with five tackles.
