Josh Oliver Ruled Out for Remainder of Week 18 with Ankle Injury

Sunday, January 4, 3:00 PM

Minnesota Vikings tight end Josh Oliver (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of his team's Week 18 matchup against the Green Bay Packers after suffering an ankle injury. Oliver recorded two catches for 29 yards on two targets before exiting the game. The 28-year-old will finish the 2025 season with 15 catches for 160 yards and four touchdowns on 19 targets across 15 games played. Minnesota entered the game already without tight end T.J. Hockenson (shoulder), so the team is now working without its top two players at the position. Without Hockenson and Oliver, the Vikings will likely rely on tight ends Ben Yurosek and Ben Sims for the remainder of Week 18.

Load Management a Possibility for Dalton Kincaid

Tuesday, March 31, 8:34 PM

Buffalo Bills head coach Joe Brady acknowledged that "load management remains a possibility for frequently injured tight end Dalton Kincaid in 2026," according to Tim Graham of The Athletic. General manager Brandon Beane had previously floated the idea of load management for Kincaid, and now, Brady is echoing that idea. The former first-round pick has missed nine games over the last two seasons, including five in 2025. Even in some of the games where he has been on the field, he was at less than 100 percent. Brady acknowledged that Kincaid had a snap count in some games last year, limiting him to passing downs, which made the offense more predictable. He hasn't finished higher than TE20 since his rookie campaign in 2023, but if the Bills can find a way to keep him healthy for the whole year, he might actually be able to sneak into the top 12.
