Rest-of-Season Projections
Ballard remains away from the Vikings for a personal issue. Head coach Leslie Frazier says he hasn't talked to Ballard in a week and is proceeding as if he won't be available this season, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Ballard was bothered by a groin injury in camp before departing, but wasn't thought to be serious. His absence will hurt Minnesota's depth on the defensive line, where he would have been a reserve.
