EAGAN, Minn. — Jonathan Greenard has made a major impact on Minnesota's defense in his first season with the team after the Vikings made him a priority in free agency. Greenard is tied for fourth in the NFL in pressures and sacks. His impact was on display at the end of the victory over Arizona last week. Greenard knocked the ball out of Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray's hand to cause a sack and chased him down for a clock-draining 3-yard gain on the next play. Greenard was battling an illness and needed the Vikings to call timeout so he could go back in.
