Jonathan Greenard Fantasy Stats

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Jonathan Greenard (shoulder) will miss the rest of the season with a left-shoulder injury, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell. Greenard originally injured his left shoulder in Week 10 and missed two games. Greenard had been playing on a part-time basis in the last three games before aggravating the injury in the 34-26 Sunday night win over the hosting Dallas Cowboys. He will undergo surgery and is expected to be at full strength for the start of next season. The 28-year-old pass-rusher was limited to 12 games this year due to his shoulder injury, and he will finish with three sacks while ranking fifth in the league with a 13.5% pressure rate. Second-year linebacker Dallas Turner should have a full-time role in Minnesota for the final three games with Greenard out. Greenard signed a four-year, $72 million contract in 2024 and recorded 12 sacks in 17 games to earn Pro Bowl honors.

Minnesota Vikings edge rusher Jonathan Greenard (shoulder) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Green Bay Packers. He had been listed as questionable after logging a pair of limited practice sessions. The 28-year-old Florida product will ultimately miss his second consecutive game, leaving a large void within Minnesota's defensive front. After all, he had 31 tackles, two sacks, and one forced fumble through his first nine contests this year. Dallas Turner is expected to earn the start in Greenard's absence. Turner was a productive fill-in last week, amassing seven tackles and one sack.

The Minnesota Vikings believe edge rusher Jonathan Greenard (shoulder) avoided a serious injury during a Week 10 game against Baltimore, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell. The 2024 Pro Bowler departed the game against the Ravens and did not return, but it appears as if he will have a chance to play as early as this week. O'Connell said Greenard is on track to return to practice, though it seems likely he will carry an injury designation when the team releases its first injury report of the week on Wednesday. Managers in IDP leagues can hold for now, but should make alternate plans for Week 11 in case the injury prevents Greenard from suiting up against the Chicago Bears.

Free-agent edge rusher Jonathan Greenard is signing a four-year, $76 million deal that includes $42 million guaranteed with the Minnesota Vikings. The 26-year-old broke out with the Houston Texans last season, posting career-highs in tackles (52), sacks (12.5), and run-stuffs (nine). The Vikings are expected to lose Danielle Hunter, so Greenard helps make up for the potential departure. The Vikings could be headed into rebuild mode after the loss of franchise quarterback Kirk Cousins.

Houston Texans defensive end Jonathan Greenard (ankle) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans. Greenard injured his ankle in last week's matchup against the Cleveland Browns. The injury took him out of that contest early and forced him to miss practice all week. The 26-year-old has 56 tackles on the season and leads the Texans with 12.5 sacks. The team will certainly miss his efforts in Week 17, as he had a great showing when the teams last faced off in Week 15, recording six tackles, 2.5 sacks, and forcing a fumble. Worse yet, Houston's remaining starters on the defensive line are all listed as questionable ahead of the must-win rematch.

Houston Texans top pass-rushing defensive end Jonathan Greenard (calf) is going on Injured Reserve after he injured his calf in practice this week, according to a source. Greenard is expected to return to the team in four to six weeks. The 25-year-old already missed the Week 5 game and wasn't ready to return this weekend after resting up during last week's bye. The third-year pass-rusher had 1.5 sacks, nine tackles (six solo), five tackles for loss and three QB hits in his four games played before land on Injured Reserve. It's a blow to Houston's defensive line and their pass rush, which is good news for the Las Vegas Raiders, who are also coming off a bye last week.

Houston Texans defensive lineman Jonathan Greenard (foot) and defensive back Cre'Von LeBlanc (illness) have both been ruled out for Week 11 against the Tennessee Titans after coming into the game with questionable tags. The Texans defense will also be without linebacker Hardy Nickerson (concussion). Houston's defense/special teams enters Week 11 play as the No. 18 defensive unit in overall fantasy points, and fantasy managers have plenty of better options at their disposal than the Texans, even against a Titans offense that remains without running back Derrick Henry (foot).

The Houston Texans have selected Florida linebacker Jonathan Greenard with the No. 90 pick in the third round. Houston continues to address their defensive concerns early in the draft. Greenard looks like the kind of player that would go in the first round, but he lacks consistency. He has a nice motor and good power along with great hand work. He collected 53 tackles, 16 tackles for loss and 10 sacks during 11 games at Florida in 2019. Greenard isn't projected to start right away, but he'll be solid depth for Houston going forward.
