The Vikings placed Claiborne (knee) on injured reserve Monday.

Claiborne suffered a knee injury during a recent practice. While head coach Kevin O'Connell stated he doesn't believe Claiborne will require surgery, the injury is severe enough to keep him off the field for at least four games. The 23-year-old hasn't done much from a statistical standpoint throughout the 2026 campaign, amassing just 13 yards off six carries while garnering two catches for eight yards.
