Line scored a one-yard touchdown, his second of the season, on his lone carry in Sunday's win over San Diego.

Line has just two carries in his career, so it's unlikely he'll continue to get goal-line carries the rest of the season, but it's a situation to monitor.

Line scored his first career touchdown on a one-yard run on his only carry in Sunday's win over Detroit.

It was also Line's first career rushing attempt in three seasons. The Vikings rarely use a fullback and Adrian Peterson is still their goal-line back, so this was a rare misdirection play where Line got the ball.

Line is listed as active Monday in San Francisco.

Line will blaze a trail for Adrian Peterson in the star's first appearance since Week 1 last year. The outing will mark Line's fifth overall in his third professional season.

Line (knee) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the 49ers.

Line is set to play in the Vikings' season opener after practicing fully Friday and Saturday. It remains to be seen how often the Vikings will utilize the fullback position, but both Adrian Peterson and Norv Turner can bank on having Line -- the only fullback on the roster -- available for Week 1.

Line had four carries for 18 yards, including a 1-yard touchdown, in Saturday's preseason win over Tampa Bay.

It's not clear if the Vikings will keep a fullback this season as the position is rarely used under offensive coordinator Norv Turner. Line helped his case Saturday, but he'd likely get most of his playing time on special teams if he makes the roster.

The Vikings have waived Line, the team's official site reports.

The move frees up a roster spot for the Viking' addition of Joe Banyard from their practice squad in advance of Week 2.

Line (ankle) is probable for Sunday's game against New England.

Line's return might give a boost to Minnesota's special teams and run blocking, but the fullback generally shouldn't make much of an impact.

Line (ankle) did not practice Thursday or Friday and is listed as out against St. Louis, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Line may not be active many times on game day even when healthy as long as Jerome Felton is at full strength.

Line (ankle) has made Minnesota's final 53-man roster, ESPN reports.

The Vikings surprisingly kept two fullbacks, so Line will likely have to active on special teams.

Line left Thursday's preseason win over Tennessee with an ankle injury, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

It's not clear if he'll make the team despite showing he was back from last season's knee injury.

Vikings RB Zach Line underwent shoulder surgery during his "redshirt" rookie season.

Line was placed on I.R. with a September knee injury, but took the opportunity to have his shoulder repaired. A favorite of measurables-based football metrics sites, Line stands 6-foot, 232 and ran 4.65 at his Pro Day. He's been compared to Mike Alstott. Line is a player to monitor during his first full NFL offseason as a potential in-house replacement for free agent Toby Gerhart.

Vikings placed FB Zach Line on injured reserve, ending his season.
