Vikings injury report: Andrew Van Ginkel will miss Steelers game in Dublin

Vikings: Edge rusher Andrew Van Ginkel worked on the side with the Vikings’ injured players during Friday’s practice in Dublin and won’t play Sunday against the Steelers. Van Ginkel had returned from a neck injury and concussion to play eight snaps last Sunday against the Bengals, but his neck injury kept him from practicing all week.

In addition to Van Ginkel and McCarthy, the Vikings ruled out quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle), left guard Donovan Jackson (wrist) and tight end Ben Yurosek (knee) Blake Brandel will start for Jackson. Center Ryan Kelly, who missed last Sunday’s game with a concussion, was a full participant in practice all week and carries no injury designation into the Steelers game. Christian Darrisaw and Harrison Smith also don’t have injury designations.

Steelers: Linebacker Alex Highsmith will miss his second game in a row with an ankle injury. Cornerback Joey Porter Jr. (hamstring), running back Jaylen Warren (knee) and tight end Jonnu Smith (hip) were listed as questionable. They were limited in practice most of the week.

Vikings: Outside linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel was among five players held out of practice. Quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who had a wrap on his sprained right ankle, did not practice. Neither did guard Donovan Jackson (left wrist), left tackle Christian Darrisaw (knee), or tight end Ben Yurosek (knee).

Darrisaw will continue to get rest time built into his schedule as he plays with a brace on his surgically-repaired left knee. Safety Harrison Smith was limited.

Defensive tackle Javon Hargrave returned to limited reps while playing through a rib injury suffered against the Bengals. Safety Josh Metellus (foot) upgraded to a full participant. Center Ryan Kelly was again a full participant in practice as he works back from a concussion.

Steelers: Linebacker Patrick Queen (oblique) was a full participant in practice. Cornerback Joey Porter Jr (hamstring), safety DeShon Elliott (knee), running back Jaylen Warren (knee) and tight end Jonnu Smith (hip) were limited. Linebacker T.J. Watt, defensive tackle Cameron Heyward and receiver DK Metcalf were given veteran rest days. Linebacker Alex Highsmith (ankle) did not practice.

Defensive tackle Javon Hargrave (ribs) and outside linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel (neck) were held out. Defensive tackle Jonathan Allen was present but had a rest day.

Left guard Donovan Jackson (wrist) is also out after successful surgery Monday to fix a wrist injury suffered in the Falcons game.

Safety Josh Metellus (foot) was marked as limited on the practice report. Neither safety Harrison Smith nor left tackle Christian Darrisaw were listed on the injury report after making their season debuts Sunday.
