Agrees to adjusted contract
Blacklock and the Vikings agreed Wednesday to restructure his contract for the 2023 season to the NFL veteran minimum of $1.01 million, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Analysis: The renegotiation now saves Minnesota roughly $683,000 in cap space. Blacklock is slated to remain with the Vikings for at least one more campaign after he tallied two tackles and one sack across 11 games this past season while operating as a depth/rotational defensive lineman.

Won't play Sunday
Blacklock (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Lions.
Analysis: Blacklock missed Week 13 against the Jets due to an illness, but he did return to the practice field this week, while also shedding his injury designation. In his absence, James Lynch and Esezi Otomewo will likely be in line for increased opportunity.

Removed from injury report
Blacklock (illness) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report.
Analysis: Blacklock missed Sunday's game against the Jets as a result of an illness, but his absence from Wednesday's injury report suggests that he's healthy and ready to return to action this weekend versus the Lions. The 290-pounder will likely continue operating as a rotational piece on Minnesota's defensive line.

Sitting out Sunday
Blacklock (illness) is inactive Sunday against the Jets.

Two QB hurries in Vikings debut
Blacklock had two quarterback hurries in Sunday's win over Green Bay.
Analysis: Blacklock played on ten of the defense's 62 snaps, as he'll be a backup defensive tackle to begin the season. The 24-year-old racked up 36 tackles (24 solo), two sacks, a forced fumble and two pass defenses in 14 games with Houston last season before being traded to Minnesota in August.

Traded to Vikings
Blacklock and a 2023 seventh-round pick were traded from the Texans to the Vikings on Tuesday in exchange for a 2023 sixth-round pick.
Analysis: Blacklock was selected by the Texans with the 40th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft and appeared in 29 games over the last two seasons. The 24-year-old racked up 36 tackles (24 solo), two sacks, a forced fumble and two pass defenses during his time with the Texans. Blacklock missed Houston's preseason finale with a groin issue but has presumably moved past the issue and could compete for a starting role on Minnesota's defensive line after Armon Watts was waived Tuesday.

Suffering from groin injury
Blacklock (groin) won't play in Thursday's preseason finale, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Analysis: While it's uncertain when Blacklock suffered this groin injury, the defensive tackle has been unable to practice since Tuesday. The 2020 second-round pick figures to see a key role on the Texans' defensive line this season as soon as he's healthy.

Dealing with leg injury
Blacklock didn't practice Tuesday due to a leg injury, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Analysis: It's unclear when Blacklock suffered the injury, but he'll likely be sidelined for Thursday's preseason finale against San Francisco. The 2020 second-round pick appeared in 14 games last year, totaling 22 tackles, two sacks and one forced fumble, and he'll likely garner a similar role in 2022.

Returns from COVID list
Blacklock (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
Analysis: Blacklock has been sidelined nearly three weeks since testing positive for the virus, but he'll rejoin the team after clearing the health and safety protocols. The 2020 second-round pick should return to his rotational role on the defensive line now that he's back on the active roster.

Lands on COVID list
Blacklock (illness) has been placed on the Texans' reserve/COVID list.
Analysis: Blacklock's addition to the COVID list is due to a positive test, per Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston. In his absence, Roy Lopez and Jaleel Johnson will be the primary candidates to provide depth at defensive tackle.

Experiences drop in playing time
Blacklock played just seven snaps in Week 15's 27-20 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: With the Texans out of the playoff hunt, Blacklock, a 2020 second-round pick, should be getting developmental playing time, but his performance was lacking last week, per Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle. Blacklock typically plays between 15 and 20 snaps per game, but he was knocked around by Colts' blockers early on and finished with no statistics.

Increased playing time Week 9
Blacklock is expected to get more playing time Week 9 against Jacksonville, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Interim head coach Romeo Crennel acknowledged Blacklock, a second-round draft pick in 2020, and rookie outside linebacker Jonathan Greenard could see more time this week. That may be partially due to three defensive players contracting COVID-19, but also because the 1-6 Texans need to develop young talent during a season that's spun out of control.

Records first tackle for loss
Blacklock played a season-high 32 percent of defensive snaps and recorded his first tackle for a loss in the Week 6 loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Blacklock, Houston's top draft pick in 2020, has played in all but one game and has recorded four tackles. The second-round pick was held out of the Pittsburgh game for disciplinary reasons. At 1-5, the Texans outwardly state the season is about winning as many games as possible, per Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, but they could eventually use the disappointing season to develop rookies.

Ejected from loss to Ravens
Blacklock was ejected from Sunday's 33-16 loss to Baltimore, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Blacklock was penalized for unnecessary roughness in the fourth quarter and ejected. The rookie second-round pick recorded one tackle before leaving the field.
