Greenway (broken rib, hand) did not participate in practice on Tuesday or Wednesday, the team's official web site reports.

Greenway suffered a broken rib in Sunday's loss at New Orleans and was already playing with a broken left hand. While he hasn't been ruled out this week against Atlanta, it's doubtful he'll play.

Greenway suffered a broken rib in Sunday's loss at New Orleans and appears unlikely to play this week against Atlanta, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Greenway was playing with a broken left hand and a rib injury and it appears he aggravated the injury. It's possible he could miss more than one week. Audie Cole may get more playing time at middle linebacker as a result.

Greenway left Sunday's loss to New Orleans in the fourth quarter due to a rib injury, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Greenway was already playing with a broken left hand, but it sounds like he aggravated a rib injury he also suffered last week.

Greenway (hand/ribs) is active for Sunday's game at New Orleans, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Greenway broke his left hand in last week's loss to New England, but was able to practice Friday. Still, watch to see if this becomes an issue during Sunday's game.

Greenway (hand/ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against New Orleans.

Greenway logged just one limited practice this week, but coach Mike Zimmer previously stated that he expects Greenway to play Sunday. Still, his shaky health situation makes him an unideal IDP consideration for now.

Greenway (broken left hand) did not practice Thursday. However, head coach Mike Zimmer remained optimistic he'll play this week, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. "He's tough. He'll be all right," Zimmer said.

Greenway broke his left hand, according to ESPN, which is different than the right wrist he broke last year. It sounds like Greenway will play this week, but check to make sure he participates in some practice Friday.

Greenway (hand) didn't practice Wednesday, Matt Vensel of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Greenway sustained broken hand in Week 2, but coach Mike Zimmer said that he expects the linebacker to suit up Sunday at New Orleans. Last season, Greenway played with a fractured right wrist but still gutted out the entire 16-game slate. Expect the status of the high-volume tackler to be clarified by week's end.

Greenway suffered a broken hand during Sunday's game against the Patriots, but is still expected to play this week FOX Sports North reports.

Greenway's injury is certainly not a minor one, but coach Mike Zimmer still expects his starting weakside linebacker to be able to play Sunday versus the Saints. With that outlook, it will be interesting to see if Greenway is indeed made available, despite carrying a broken hand. If he plays, Greenway would definitely need to wear some sort of protective cast or club to prevent further damage. Expect Greenway's status to be sorted out as the week unfolds, regardless of Zimmer's initial optimism.

Greenway had two total tackles and one quarterback hurry in Sunday's win at St. Louis.

Greenway didn't pile up many stats in a lopsided win, but should was on the field for 59 of 67 snaps on defense. He stays on the field in nickle situations, so he should put up better tackle totals.

Greenway returned to practice Thursday after getting tests on a sore wrist earlier in the week, ESPN reports.

Greenway played with a fractured right wrist during the second half of last season, but the Vikings wouldn't specify if the tests were on the same wrist. Luckily the injury looks minor since he's back in practice, but it's something to keep in mind in case it becomes an issue again.

Greenway underwent tests for a sore wrist, but the injury isn't thought to be serious, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. "He's got a little wrist," Zimmer said. "It's not a big deal. He's been MRIed and X-rayed and we just don't want to irritate it more."

Greenway played with a fractured right wrist during the second half of last season, but the Vikings wouldn't specify if the tests were on the same wrist. It likely won't impact his availability for Week 1, but he may not play in the preseason as a result.

Greenway, who new coach Mike Zimmer experimented with at middle linebacker during spring drills, will resume playing outside linebacker this coming season, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Greenway spent time in the middle of Zimmer's 4-3 scheme during the beginning of team activities this year, but is expected to remain at his established outside linebacker position for the coming campaign. It appears Zimmer was simply gauging his Pro Bowl linebacker's skill set before embarking on their first season together. A tackling machine, Greenway has registered at least 130 stops in each of the past four seasons, giving him considerable IDP value no matter where he lines up.

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune's Matt Vensel reports the Vikings' are unlikely to use Chad Greenway at middle linebacker.

Vensel guesses Greenway could be a fall-back option in the middle, but he will stick to the weak side for now. Jasper Brinkley saw most of the first-team reps at MIKE on Wednesday and will compete with Audie Cole for the starting job.

Vikings coach Mike Zimmer is open to moving Chad Greenway to middle linebacker.

Zimmer played strong-side linebacker last season under Leslie Frazier. He practiced at weak side during OTAs, and is now under consideration at Mike. "It's a possibility," Zimmer said. "We keep working him in there. We're just trying to find the best 11 players we can and then figure out where the rest of the guys are going to fit." Greenway's IDP stock could rise in the middle.

Chad Greenway confirmed he's moving to weak-side linebacker.

Greenway played "SAM" linebacker last year, but should get the majority of his snaps at the "WILL" spot this season. He's also seen time at middle linebacker during OTAs and could be moved inside in certain packages. Greenway and Anthony Barr are locked in as starters in Mike Zimmer's defense, with Gerald Hodges, Audie Cole, and Jasper Brinkley competing for the final linebacker spot.

WLB Chad Greenway has agreed to reduce his base salary from $6.5 million to a fully guaranteed $5.5 million.

Greenway is coming off of a horrific season where he graded out 34th among 35 qualifiers in Pro Football Focus' 4-3 outside linebacker ratings. He has been solid through out his career, though, and should offer a veteran presence for a defense in transition. Greenway 2015 salary remains the same, meaning the Vikings could save $7.1 million by cutting Greenway after 2014.

Vikings WLB Chad Greenway is owed $6.5 million in salary and bonuses in 2014.

His base salary is $6.4 million with a $100,000 offseason workout bonus. Turning 31 later this month, Greenway is coming off of a horrific season where he graded out 34th among 35 qualifiers in Pro Football Focus' 4-3 outside linebacker ratings. Only Miami's Philip Wheeler was worse. We suspect the Vikings will keep Greenway for 2014, but it's hardly a guarantee. Minnesota may undergo a rebuilding process this spring after ranking 31st in total defense.

The arthroscopic knee surgery Chad Greenway underwent last week was on his left meniscus.

Greenway had some "residual fraying" of his meniscus. It may have been related to his 2006 ACL tear in the same knee. Regardless, he's in no danger of missing Week 1 and fully expects to be ready for the start of camp. "There will be no doubt in my mind unless I get in a car accident or something," said Greenway. "From the knee perspective, it'll be 100 percent, good to go."

Chad Greenway (knee) will be sidelined until training camp.

Greenway underwent arthroscopic knee surgery Thursday and will need at least 3-4 weeks of recovery time. The Vikings expect him to be available when camp begins in late July.

Vikings SLB Chad Greenway (knee) underwent surgery on Wednesday to clean out debris in his knee.

Coach Leslie Frazier deemed the surgery as minor, and added there are "no worries," that Greenway will be ready for camp. Greenway hasn't missed a game since becoming a starter in 2007, and will be 100 percent entering the season.
