Josh Oliver News
Monday, September 28, 10:48 AM
Minnesota Vikings tight end Josh Oliver (biceps) suffered a torn biceps muscle in the Week 3 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday and needs season-ending surgery, a source told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Oliver will miss the rest of the 2026 regular season, and he will be a long shot to return if the Vikings have a deep playoff run. The 29-year-old former third-round selection of the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2019 from San Jose State was not on the fantasy football radar as a pass-catching TE, but he was extremely valuable to the Vikings' offense as a blocker. His 2026 season will end after just three games and three catches (five targets) for 46 yards. Oliver did have seven combined touchdowns for the Vikings in 2024 and 2025, but he has never surpassed 28 receptions or 258 receiving yards in a single season since making his NFL debut with the Jaguars in 2019.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson (knee/shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's Week 4 game against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Nate Atkins. Parkinson did not practice Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday and entered the weekend listed as questionable. He has caught three passes for 21 yards through the first three games of the season. Los Angeles is also without Terrance Ferguson (ankle), leaving the Rams down two tight ends against Philadelphia. Tyler Higbee, Davis Allen, and rookie Max Klare are available to handle the work at the position with Parkinson and Ferguson sidelined.
