Vikings placed FS Husain Abdullah (concussion) on injured reserve, ending his season. Abdullah hasn't practiced since sustaining a concussion two weeks ago. The I.R. move suggests he's still dealing with symptoms. It's poor timing for an impending free agent who reportedly turned down a contract extension early in the season. Prior to the concussion, both parties wanted him back in Minnesota for 2012.

The Vikings reportedly offered FS Husain Abdullah a contract extension two months ago. Although Abdullah allowed touchdowns in three consecutive games at one point this season, beat writer Tom Pelissero notes that he's "highly regarded within the building." The two-year starter turned down the Vikings' original offer, but he likes coach Leslie Frazier and wants to stay in Minnesota.

Vikings S Husain Abdullah sustained a concussion in Monday night's loss to the Packers. It's Abdullah's second concussion since Week 6, meaning he'll likely miss some time. And with top corner Antoine Winfield also going down Monday, this Vikings' secondary is a mess. Carson Palmer and the Raiders' passing game will have a plus matchup Sunday.
