Vikings' Jakobe Thomas: Looking good for Sunday
Thomas (illness) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game versus the Packers, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.
Thomas missed some practice earlier in the week due to an illness, but he was a full participant Friday and should be available in Week 1. Exactly how much playing time he'll get, if any, is still up in the air.

Vikings' Jakobe Thomas: Managing back issue
Thomas has been dealing with back stiffness and hasn't fully practiced for about a week, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Thomas was taken in the third round of April's NFL Draft and is expected to provide key depth in the Vikings' secondary this season. His current injury is particularly notable because fellow safeties Josh Metellus (shoulder) and Jay Ward (concussion) are both currently working through injuries of their own. However, there's no indication at this point that Thomas is at risk of not being ready for Week 1 of the regular season.

Vikings' Jakobe Thomas: Goes to Minnesota
The Vikings selected Thomas in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 98th overall.
Thomas transferred to Miami for his fifth and final college season, where he established himself as a key piece in the Hurricanes secondary en route to an appearance in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game against Indiana. He started in all 16 games in 2025 and was named as the Fiesta Bowl MVP and to the All-ACC Second-Team after posting 76 total tackles, including 3.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and 11 pass defenses (five interceptions). Thomas is an avid playmaker both in coverage and as a run stopper, and while that aggressiveness led to game-changing plays in college, he'll have to be careful not to get exposed at the NFL level. Thomas will have the chance to compete against Theo Jackson and Jay Ward for the second starting safety job alongside Josh Metellus (shoulder).
