Vikings nose tackle Linval Joseph missed Sunday night’s game against the Cowboys after undergoing knee surgery last week, the Star Tribune reported.
When will we see Joseph? Could it possibly be in Week 11 against the Broncos?
“I don’t know yet,” Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said. “Could be back this week. We’ll see.”
It seems very unlikely that Joseph would be back so quickly, but considering the team has a bye in Week 12, it’s probably fair to wonder if Joseph could play in Week 13 when the Vikings travel to Seattle to play the Seahawks.
Per Pro Football Focus, Joseph has a player grade of 74.9, a mark that ranks 35th out of 121 interior defenders.
If Joseph can’t play in Week 11, we’ll see a few players fill his spot with Jaleel Johnson likely starting.
