As of week 8, Nick Samac was a C for MIN, age 25, 2 seasons of experience, drafted in round 7. Before 2026 he played 11 games (postseason included) over 1 season. His injury history held 2 episodes (chest 1, knee 1), 1 of them reaching OUT; the last was a knee injury in 2026 week 3.
Nick Samac is listed at center for MIN. He has a not stated injury. His team named him inactive in weeks 1 and 2. His team has not listed him on the final report. We called him PLAY in week 7 and he did not play.
The weekly roster read listed him on a reserve list. That is a list, not an announcement by his team, and it is not a reading of ours. His team has listed no game designation for him this week. Source: the weekly roster read of reserve lists (injured reserve, PUP, NFI, suspended).
The team has not published one we can date, or the window has not reached it. Not the same as his having practiced.
