Vikings downgrade D.J. Wonnum to OUT, elevate Jacob Hollister from practice squad

The Minnesota Vikings have made a couple of roster moves before heading to South Florida to take on the Miami Dolphins this weekend.

First, outside linebacker D.J. Wonnum has been downgraded from “questionable” to “out” and will miss Sunday’s game. Wonnum was placed on the injury report on Thursday with an illness and did not practice on Thursday or Friday. This could mean that undrafted free agent Luiji Vilain will be active for the team on Sunday, which would be his first NFL game. Wonnum is a significant loss as he’s second on the team in QB pressures and has been very effective in getting after opposing quarterbacks this season.
