- Myles Price Injury Threatens Minnesota’s 5-0 Season Momentum
Myles Price left the Minnesota Vikings' Week 7 game against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday to be evaluated for a concussion and a stinger, according to the Vikings' official X account. The wide receiver and return specialist was evaluated in the first quarter but returned to action without missing time.
Price made an immediate impact before exiting, returning the opening kickoff 46 yards to help set up Minnesota's first possession. The brief concern over his health came as the Vikings faced Indianapolis at U.S. Bank Stadium.

The Vikings entered the matchup with a 5-0 record, leading the NFC North, while the Colts were 2-4 and second in the AFC South. Minnesota was looking to maintain its unbeaten start, making Price's availability an important development during the game.
Price has emerged as a key contributor on special teams since joining Minnesota as an undrafted free agent in 2025. His ability to create yardage on kickoffs and punts gives the Vikings a potential field-position advantage, particularly when he finds space to return the ball.

During his rookie season, Price recorded 1,479 kickoff return yards and 298 punt return yards across 16 games. He earned recognition for his return production, establishing himself as an option Minnesota could rely on in the kicking game.

Price's injury also comes after a strong start to the 2026 campaign. He was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Month for September, reflecting his impact on Minnesota's return units. His status could affect the Vikings' special-teams plans if he is unable to return.

The team's announcement did not confirm whether Price would return to Sunday's game or provide a timetable for his availability. The next update on his condition will determine whether Minnesota needs to adjust its return personnel for the remainder of the matchup.
