Vikings' C.J. Ham: Back-to-back DNPs to open week
Ham (hand) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
Ham was unable to play against the Chargers in Week 8 due to a hand injury he picked up against the Eagles in Week 7. He's missed the first two practices of Week 9 prep, and he'll have to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday to have a realistic chance of playing against the Lions on Sunday. Without another fullback on the active roster, the Vikings would continue to lean on tight ends Josh Oliver (foot) and Ben Yurosek to handle backfield blocking duties if Ham is not cleared to play.

Vikings' C.J. Ham: Won't play vs. Bolts
Ham (hand) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Chargers, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.
Ham was a DNP at practice during the condensed week due to a left hand injury that he sustained against the Eagles on Sunday, and the veteran fullback will be sidelined for Thursday's game as a result. The Vikings don't have another fullback on the roster, but they could use tight ends such as Josh Oliver, Ben Yurosek and practice squad member Nick Vannett as blockers out of the backfield for Week 8. Ham's next opportunity to play is Week 9 against the Lions on Sunday, Nov. 2.

Vikings' C.J. Ham: Hurts hand in loss

Vikings' C.J. Ham: Debuting in Week 5
Ham (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns in London.
Ham was sidelined for the Vikings' first four games of the season, but he returned to practice this week as a full participant and was activated from injured reserve Saturday, so the writing was on the wall for him to make his 2025 debut Sunday. The 32-year-old is the lone fullback on the Vikings' roster, but in past seasons, he's typically been a part-time contributor on offense and has served mainly as a blocker. Ham is also a key part of Minnesota's special-teams units.

Vikings' C.J. Ham: Activated off IR
The Vikings activated Ham (knee) off injured reserve Saturday.
Ham missed the team's first four games of the campaign but should have a chance to make his season debut during Sunday's matchup versus the Browns. If the 32-year-old ends up playing, he will look to help open up holes in the run game for Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott against a stout Cleveland defense.

Vikings' C.J. Ham: Iffy for London game
Ham (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns in London.
The fullback missed the Vikings' first four games of the season while recovering from a knee injury but could be ready to make his 2025 debut after turning in a trio of full practices this week. Ham currently remains on injured reserve, so the Vikings will need to add him back to the 53-man roster by Saturday in order for him to be eligible to play in Week 5.

Vikings' C.J. Ham: Practice window opens
Ham (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve and practiced in full Wednesday.
The 32-year-old was unable to participate in the Vikings' first four games this season due to a knee injury, but following Monday's full practice, his return seems imminent. Ham now has 21 days to be added to Minnesota's active roster before reverting to IR. Once healthy, he's likely to serve as the team's top fullback, contributing both on offense and special teams.

Vikings' C.J. Ham: Sent to IR
Ham (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
Ham underwent ankle surgery in February, and it's unclear if this injury is related. Regardless, Ham will miss at least four games to start the year. The Vikings don't have another fullback on the roster, so their scheme may need to be altered in the short term.

Vikings' C.J. Ham: Active in preseason opener
Ham (ankle) played three offensive snaps, catching his only target for minus-three yards in Saturday's 20-10 preseason win over the Texans.
Ham opened camp limited by an offseason ankle surgery, but he was able to give it a go in the preseason opener. The 32-year-old is geared up to operate as the Vikings' primary fullback for the ninth consecutive campaign in 2025.

Vikings' C.J. Ham: Undergoes procedure on ankle
Ham underwent surgery Wednesday to address an ankle injury, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Ham was listed on the Vikings' injury report toward the end of the season due to an ankle injury, but it wasn't significant enough for him to miss a single game in 2024. The veteran fullback should have enough time to fully recover before OTAs begin.

Vikings' C.J. Ham: Handles seven touches in 2024
Ham finished the 2024 season with five catches for 35 yards on six targets and two rushes for 10 yards and one touchdown across 17 regular-season games.
Ham played 262 offensive snaps across the 17 contests, and he saw another 282 snaps on special teams. The 31-year-old fullback has spent all eight seasons of his career with Minnesota and is under contract for one more season at a salary of $2.55 million. The Vikings are flush with 2025 cap space at the moment, but they have the quarterback situation to figure out and a load of potential free agents. Releasing the lightly used Ham would clear $2.65 million against the cap.

Vikings' C.J. Ham: Good to go against Seattle
Ham (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Ham popped up on Thursday's injury report due to an ankle injury. He was limited in Friday's practice, but he's managed to progress enough in his recovery to be cleared to play Sunday. Ham gives the Vikings blocking out of the backfield and he'll look to open up space in the run game for Aaron Jones and Cam Akers.
