Vikings' Zavier Scott: Gets time late in blowout loss
Scott had two carries for 16 yards and two receptions for eight yards on two targets in Sunday's loss to the Chargers.
With Aaron Jones back from a hamstring injury, Scott worked as the No. 3 running back. He got playing time only after the game became a blowout loss as all of his touches on offense came late in the fourth quarter. He's likely to have a very small role on offense if Jones and Jordan Mason are healthy.

Vikings' Zavier Scott: Active Thursday, but Jones is back
Scott (wrist) is listed as active Thursday at the Chargers.
Scott emerged from this past Sunday's loss to the Eagles with a wrist injury and then logged a pair of limited walkthroughs before the Vikings tagged him as questionable for Week 8 action. While he'll be available to Minnesota's backfield, he'll be welcoming back Aaron Jones (hamstring) for the first time since Week 2 after the veteran was activated from IR and now is active for Thursday's game. Scott very well could be the third RB behind Jordan Mason and Jones moving forward.

Vikings' Zavier Scott: Status in question for Thursday
Scott (wrist) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game at the Chargers.
The same can be said for fellow RB Aaron Jones (hamstring), though the Vikings will need to activate him from injured reserve Thursday afternoon for him to have a chance to return to action for the first time since Week 2. If Jones remains sidelined and Scott is deemed active, the latter will resume his modest role behind Jordan Mason from the last four contests (6.8 touches for 29.5 yards from scrimmage per game while recording one TD catch).

Vikings' Zavier Scott: Limited in walk-through session
Scott (wrist) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.
Scott has been listed as a limited practice participant in each of the first two days of the week due to a wrist injury he picked up in the Vikings' Week 7 loss to the Eagles. Before deciding whether Scott carries a designation into Thursday's game against the Chargers, the Vikings will see if he's able to increase his activity level Wednesday. In related news, fellow running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Tuesday, and he could be a candidate to be activated ahead of Thursday's game. If Jones isn't added back to the roster for Week 8, however, Scott -- if available -- would serve as the top backup to Jordan Mason.

Vikings' Zavier Scott: Estimated as LP to open week
The Vikings estimated Scott (wrist) as an limited participant on Monday's practice report, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
Scott played 10 snaps (nine on offense, one on special teams) during Minnesota's loss to Philadelphia on Sunday and finished with four carries for four yards and one catch for two yards on one target. He picked up a wrist injury in the process, and with the Vikings operating on a condensed week, his practice participation over the next two days will determine whether he'll be cleared to play against the Chargers on Thursday. With Aaron Jones (hamstring) and Ty Chandler (knee) both on injured reserve, the Vikings could elevate Cam Akers or Corey Kiner from the practice squad to the active roster for backfield depth behind Jordan Mason if Scott is not cleared to play Week 8.

Vikings' Zavier Scott: Hurts wrist in loss
Scott underwent medical evaluation after the Sunday's loss to the Eagles for a right wrist injury, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Scott had four carries for four yards and one reception for two yards on his only target in the loss. He didn't appear to miss time during the game due to the injury so it may not be serious, but he won't have much time to recover with the Vikings playing Thursday at the Chargers.

Vikings' Zavier Scott: Five carries but fumbles in win
Scott had five carries for 18 yards but lost a fumble in Sunday's win over Cleveland in London.
Scott played on 14 of the offense's 65 snaps and was the clear No. 2 running back ahead of Cam Akers (one snap on offense). Scott's fumble could put his No. 2 running back role at risk, but it doesn't appear Akers is a significant threat. However, Scott may have just one more game as the backup if Aaron Jones (hamstring) is able to return from injured reserve Week 8.

Vikings' Zavier Scott: Scores first NFL touchdown
Scott carried the ball twice for one yard and caught six of eight targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Steelers in Dublin.
The Vikings couldn't get much going on the ground and found themselves staring at a 21-6 deficit heading into the fourth quarter, so Scott saw a career-high workload as a pass catcher and capped a drive inside the final four minutes with a 16-yard TD reception, his first score in the NFL. Jordan Mason is locked into the top spot on the backfield depth chart for Minnesota as long as Aaron Jones (IR, hamstring) is sidelined, but Scott may have earned a more consistent role with this performance, beginning with a Week 5 tilt against the Browns in London.

Vikings' Zavier Scott: Works in backup role
Scott had eight carries for 30 yards and one reception for 20 yards on his lone target in Sunday's win over the Bengals.
Scott played on 17 of the offense's 60 snaps as he got work in a blowout win behind starter Jordan Mason. Cam Akers played seven snaps late in the fourth quarter. While Scott's usage is encouraging, he also had a fumble (which the Vikings recovered), and the fact Akers was elevated to the active roster just a few days after being signed could be a worry. It's still possible Akers overtakes Scott for backup duties while Aaron Jones is sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Vikings' Zavier Scott: Cleared to play
Scott (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday night's game against the Falcons.
Scott will be making his season debut after he missed Week 1 against the Bears. With Ty Chandler (knee) placed on injured reserve earlier this week and set to miss at least the next four games, Scott is in line for RB3 duties behind Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason, though that likely won't translate to many, if any, offensive opportunities.

Vikings' Zavier Scott: Limited on Thursday
Scott (ankle) was limited in Thursday's practice.
Scott missed Week 1 and was estimated as a full participant Wednesday, but with the Vikings back on the practice field Thursday, the running back's reps were limited. If healthy, Scott would be in line for RB3 duties this week after Ty Chandler (knee) was placed on injured reserve earlier in the day Thursday.

Vikings' Zavier Scott: Deemed full practice participant
Scott (ankle) was estimated as a full participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough.
Scott suffered an ankle injury in Minnesota's final preseason contest Aug. 22 and didn't play in Week 1 versus Chicago. However, he appears to be past the ankle issue given his estimation as a full participant Wednesday. If Scott is able to play Sunday against Atlanta, he'll likely be Minnesota's No. 3 RB since Ty Chandler isn't expected to play due to a knee injury.

Vikings' Zavier Scott: Out for Week 1
Scott (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Bears.
Scott was injured in the Vikings' preseason finale back on Aug. 22 and will be unavailable for the team's Week 1 opener. He was unlikely to see much, if any, playing time to begin with behind Aaron Jones, Jordan Mason and Ty Chandler.

Vikings' Zavier Scott: Still working through ankle issue
Scott (ankle) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
Scott is nursing an ankle injury that he suffered during the Vikings' preseason finale against the Titans. He'll have two more chances to return to practice and give himself a shot at playing in Monday's regular-season opener against the Bears.
