Vikings' C.J. Ham: Undergoes procedure on ankle
Ham underwent surgery Wednesday to address an ankle injury, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Ham was listed on the Vikings' injury report toward the end of the season due to an ankle injury, but it wasn't significant enough for him to miss a single game in 2024. The veteran fullback should have enough time to fully recover before OTAs begin.

Vikings' C.J. Ham: Handles seven touches in 2024
Ham finished the 2024 season with five catches for 35 yards on six targets and two rushes for 10 yards and one touchdown across 17 regular-season games.
Ham played 262 offensive snaps across the 17 contests, and he saw another 282 snaps on special teams. The 31-year-old fullback has spent all eight seasons of his career with Minnesota and is under contract for one more season at a salary of $2.55 million. The Vikings are flush with 2025 cap space at the moment, but they have the quarterback situation to figure out and a load of potential free agents. Releasing the lightly used Ham would clear $2.65 million against the cap.

Vikings' C.J. Ham: Good to go against Seattle
Ham (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Ham popped up on Thursday's injury report due to an ankle injury. He was limited in Friday's practice, but he's managed to progress enough in his recovery to be cleared to play Sunday. Ham gives the Vikings blocking out of the backfield and he'll look to open up space in the run game for Aaron Jones and Cam Akers.

Vikings' C.J. Ham: Scores TD in win
Ham had two carries for 10 yards, including a two-yard touchdown, in Sunday's win over the Jets in London.
They were Ham's first two rushing attempts of the season. He's almost exclusively a blocking fullback who will get a few goal-line carries per season. Even if Aaron Jones misses time with a hip injury, don't expect Ham to see a meaningful increase in touches.

Vikings' C.J. Ham: Loses fumble in season opener
Ham had two receptions for 11 yards on two targets in Sunday's win over the Giants. He also uncharacteristically lost a fumble.
Ham played on 19 of the offense's 55 snaps, as the blocking fullback went out on a surprising eight routes. He only gets a few touches a game at best, so don't expect more from the savvy veteran.

Vikings' C.J. Ham: Gets first carry of season
Ham logged eight of the Vikings' 72 snaps on offense and carried once for seven yards in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Raiders.
Ham's carry was his first of the season, and though he produced one of the bigger gains of the day in a game where neither offense could get much going, don't expect the Minnesota coaching staff to go out of its way to manufacture touches for him in future contests. Like most fullbacks, Ham will be deployed primarily as a run blocker or pass protector whenever he's on the field.

Vikings' C.J. Ham: No touches for second straight week
Ham played 18 of the Vikings' 72 snaps on offense and failed to log a carry or draw a target in the team's 27-20 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
The 5-foot-11, 250-pound fullback has now gone without a touch for the second week in a row, though that's not too unexpected after he combined for no carries and only four targets over the first three games of the season. Ham will continue to serve primarily as a blocker whenever he's on the field.
