Vikings' Kyle Van Noy: Elevated in consecutive weeks
Rotowire
The Vikings elevated Van Noy from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears.
Van Noy started in the Vikings' Week 1 win over the Packers, playing 25 defensive snaps and 37 percent of the team's plays. The veteran logged only one solo tackle in the effort but provided enough experience and stability to likely see reps once again in Week 2 against a fearsome Bears rushing attack.

Vikings' Kyle Van Noy: Elevated for Sunday's showdown
Rotowire
The Vikings elevated Van Noy from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.
Van Noy signed with the Vikings in early September after deciding to play another season. The veteran linebacker will likely play a limited number of snaps due to his age (35), but his experience should provide yet another wrinkle to coach Brian Flores' defense. If Van Noy performs sufficiently in Week 1 against the Packers, he may find a permanent spot on the Vikings' 53-man roster.

Rotowire
Van Noy agreed to sign with the Vikings' practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.
Van Noy will reunite in Minnesota with defensive coordinator Brian Flores, who previously coached the edge rusher in New England. The 35-year-old linebacker will provide additional depth to a position group that recently lost Tyler Batty (knee) to a season-ending ACL tear. If Van Noy eventually gets elevated to the 53-man roster, he would likely be part of a pass-rush rotation that includes Andrew Van Ginkel and Dallas Turner.

Kyle Van Noy: Wants to play in 2026
Rotowire
Van Noy said Tuesday that he does not plan to retire before the 2026 season, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.
Van Noy, now 35 years old, was far less productive for Baltimore in 2025 (20 tackles, 2.0 sacks) than he was in the 2024 regular season (41 tackles, 12.5 sacks). However, even after his 13th year in the league, he's still expressing a desire to suit up for the upcoming campaign. Since his contract with the Ravens expired after last year, he's an unrestricted free agent, but it is yet to be seen if another club will be willing to take a chance on the veteran edge rusher.

Van Noy (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Van Noy has been sidelined for the Ravens' last two games due to a hamstring injury that he picked up during Baltimore's Week 2 win over Cleveland. He opened the week with a limited practice, and ability to practice in full Thursday indicates that he is on track to play against the Texans on Sunday.

Ravens' Kyle Van Noy: Opens week with DNP
Rotowire
Van Noy (hamstring) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's estimated practice report.
Van Noy suffered a hamstring injury during the Ravens' Week 2 win over the Browns, which prevented him from playing in Monday's 38-30 loss to the Lions. The injury is considered severe enough that the veteran could miss multiple games, so he would have to practice in at least a limited capacity this week in order to for him to have a chance at returning Sunday against the Chiefs.

Ravens' Kyle Van Noy: Could miss multiple weeks
Rotowire
Van Noy is bracing to potentially miss multiple weeks after sustaining a hamstring injury in Sunday's 41-17 win over the Browns, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
The veteran edge rusher sustained his hamstring injury early into Sunday's blowout win, playing just 12 defensive snaps and recording one total tackle before exiting. Van Noy had the best season of his 12-year career in 2024, recording 41 total tackles, including a team-leading 12.5 sacks, two passes defended and two forced fumbles over 16 regular-season contests. If the 34-year-old is forced to miss multiple weeks, 2025 second-round pick Mike Green is expected to start opposite Odafe Oweh as part of Baltimore's top edge-rush duo.
