Yurosek (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns in London.
Yurosek will miss his second straight game due to the knee injury he sustained in the Vikings' Week 3 win over the Bengals. The undrafted rookie tight end has held a minor role on offense over his three appearances this season, but his absence will be more noteworthy on special teams, where he's a regular part of the Vikings' coverage units.

Vikings' Ben Yurosek: Questionable for Week 5
Rotowire
Yurosek (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns.
The 23-year-old upgraded to a limited practice session Friday after logging consecutive DNPs to begin the Vikings' week of practice, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday. However, if Yurosek is forced to miss the Week 5 contest, Minnesota's tight-end room will likely consist of just T.J. Hockenson, Josh Oliver and Nick Vannett.

Vikings' Benjamin Yurosek: Chooses Vikings as UDFA
Rotowire
Yurosek signed with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent.
Yurosek is a solid athlete out of Georgia, as he ran a 4.64 40-yard dash at 6-foot-4, 245 pounds. He features an 81-inch wingspan, too. The California native put together two solid seasons as a receiver at Stanford, but he never reached those levels again, especially in his fifth year when he caught just 15 passes for 185 yards and no scores at Georgia. His best path to a roster spot is as a run-blocking tight end.
