Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Competing for No. 3 role
Nailor was the first player Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell mentioned when recently asked about the No. 3 receiver role, ESPN's Kevin Seifert reports.
Nailor, Brandon Powell and Trent Sherfield look like the top candidates for the job after Minnesota opted against bringing in a clear replacement for former No. 3 receiver K.J. Osborn (now with the Patriots). A 2022 sixth-round pick, Nailor has run just 77 routes through two seasons but has made the most of his limited opportunities with 12 catches for 208 yards and a touchdown on 19 targets. Hamstring and head injuries limited him to six games last year, and he took 67 of his 94 offensive snaps for the season during a Week 10 win over New Orleans. Nailor has enjoyed better health this offseason, apart from missing a few minicamp practices with an illness.

Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Dealing with illness
Nailor missed the first two days of Minnesota's mandatory minicamp with an illness, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
According to Lewis, Nailor was a standout performer during the first few days of OTAs, but an illness is now compromising his ability to carry that momentum into minicamp. The 25-year-old wide receiver appeared in just six games for Minnesota last season, catching three of his six targets for 29 yards while playing 94 total offensive snaps. Once Nailor moves past the illness, he's expected to compete for a depth role in the Minnesota wideout room behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.

Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Moves to IR
Nailor (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
Nailor had already been ruled out for the Vikings' regular-season finale, but he'll be forced to miss the team's next four games after going on IR. Unless Minnesota is able to make it to the Super Bowl, the second-year wideout's season is over. Nailor has struggled to stay on the field this year, appearing in just six games and catching three passes for 29 yards.

Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Won't return Week 18
Nailor (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions, Matthew Coller of The Purple Insider reports.
The second-year wideout is in line to miss his fourth consecutive game Sunday, as he has still yet to clear league protocol after sustaining a concussion in Week 14. Nailor has appeared in six games for the Vikings this season, catching three of his six targets for 29 yards and playing 49 snaps on special teams.

Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Still recovering from concussion
Nailor (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report.
Nailor has missed all of the Vikings' last three games, and he's apparently still in concussion protocol to start Week 18 prep. He'll likely have to practice Thursday or Friday to have any chance to suit up in Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Lions.

Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Missing third consecutive game
Nailor (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday night's game against the Packers, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
The second-year wideout has yet to clear protocol after sustaining a concussion during the Vikings' Week 13 win over the Raiders. The loss of Nailor is another blow to a depleted group of weapons in Minnesota, as Justin Jefferson, K.J. Osborn and Brandon Powell are the only wide receivers that won't carry injury designations into Week 17.

Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Estimated as DNP on Wednesday
Nailor (concussion) was deemed a nonparticipant during Wednesday's practice walk-through.
Nailor has missed Minnesota's past two games while in concussion protocol, and his DNP on Wednesday casts uncertainty about his chances of returning Sunday versus Green Bay. However, it should be noted that the Vikings held a walk-through Wednesday, so Nailor's absence is an estimation, and a clearer picture of his progress (or lack thereof) should come over the remainder of the practice week. Jordan Addison was also listed as a nonparticipant Wednesday as he manages an ankle injury, so Nailor could see more opportunities Sunday if he's able to play and Addison is held out.

Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Missing Week 16
Nailor (concussion) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Lions.
Nailor missed Minnesota's Week 15 overtime loss to the Bengals, and it now seems that his concussion will hinder him for at least one more game. The second-year wideout was unable to practice all week, so it's no surprise that he won't suit up Sunday. Brandon Powell could see more snaps in the Vikings' wide receiver room with Nailor missing Week 16.

Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Misses another practice
Nailor (concussion) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.
Nailor seems to be in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive game with a concussion, as he's recorded back-to-back DNPs to open Minnesota's week of practice. The second-year wideout will almost certainly carry an injury designation into the weekend unless he's able to practice in full Friday.

Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Still not practicing
Nailor (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.
The wide receiver entered concussion protocol Dec. 10 and missed this past Saturday's 27-24 overtime loss to Cincinnati as a result. Nailor will need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol before he's eligible for game action, and the fact that he's not practicing to begin Week 16 prep doesn't bode well for his chances of gaining clearance for this Sunday's game against Detroit.

Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Won't play Saturday
Nailor (concussion) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bengals.
Nailor has played just 94 offensive snaps this season, catching three passes for 29 scoreless yards on six targets across six games. With Justin Jefferson (chest) off injured reserve, Nailor is buried on the depth chart.

Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Not cleared to practice
Nailor (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice estimate.
Nailor sustained the concussion at some point during Sunday's 3-0 win over the Raiders, but he played 17 snaps on offense and recorded two catches for 13 yards on five targets prior to leaving the contest. He'll have to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to be available for Saturday's matchup against the Bengals.
