K.J. Osborn Still In Concussion Protocol

K.J. Osborn Still In Concussion Protocol

one year ago

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn (concussion) was diagnosed with a concussion after a scary injury in the Week 9 win over the Atlanta Falcons. It appears he's still in the league's concussion protocol, too, as he didn't practice with the team on Wednesday. It puts his status firmly in doubt for Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints. And with Justin Jefferson (hamstring) unlikely to return from Injured Reserve just yet, it means that Brandon Powell could be asked to serve as the No. 2 receiver behind rookie Jordan Addison against a tough defense. Jalen Nailor (hamstring) is practicing in full and could be activated from Injured Reserve to give Minnesota more pass-catching depth with Osborn injured. Given how bad Osborn's injury looked this past Sunday, we'd be surprised if he's out there in Week 10.
