Chris Olave was already bracing for contact and jumping up yesterday. If his foot stays planted, that's a serious ligament injury. Instead, he may have escaped with a mild hyperextension sprain with a good chance to play Week 5.

Negative signalMatchup

Olave's ankle injury and Shough's hand injury worsen Vikings' elite pass rush.

Olave faces a downgrade against the Vikings' elite pass rush (1st in QB hits per game, 1st in sack rate, 2nd in pressure rate) while dealing with a mild hyperextension ankle sprain suffered in Week 4; he did not practice Wednesday (though HC Kellen Moore attributed it to rest). Additionally, QB Tyler Shough has a hand injury and took limited practice reps early in the week after already absorbing the second-most hits of any QB through four weeks (32). The combination of Olave's injury status, Shough's limited availability, and Minnesota's pass-rush dominance creates a difficult environment.
