Nailor (hamstring) won't play Sunday versus the Packers, Andrew Krammer of the Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nailor will miss back-to-back games after being designated to return from injured reserve during Week 7 prep. If he doesn't return to action Week 9 versus Atlanta, Nailor will revert back to IR for the remainder of the campaign.

Nailor (hamstring) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Packers, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nailor was designated to return from injured reserve during Week 7 prep but didn't suit up for Minnesota's win over San Francisco on Monday night. He was a limited participant during Week 8 prep but is officially cleared to make his first appearance since Week 2. Nailor played primarily on special teams during the first two games of the season, but he could get some offensive snaps with Justin Jefferson (hamstring) still on injured reserve.

Nailor (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Green Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Nailor appeared to be close to coming back in Week 7, so it seems he has a good shot to suit up in Week 8. If he plays Sunday, it will likely be exclusively on special teams.

Nailor (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday night's game against San Francisco.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old wideout was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, and he logged three limited practices throughout the week. If Nailor is able to suit up Monday night, he'll likely play the majority of his snaps on special teams, as he played on only six percent of the Vikings' offensive snaps last season.

Nailor (hamstring) was a limited participant at the Vikings' practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Nailor was able to log a second straight day of practice with Minnesota after being designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday. The wide receiver has been unavailable since Sept. 21 while dealing with a hamstring injury. If Nailor can increase his workload at practice the rest of the week, he could return for Monday's matchup with San Francisco.

Nailor (hamstring) was designated for return from injured reserve Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Nailor returned to practice Wednesday, opening the 21-day window for Minnesota to re-add the wide receiver to the 53-man roster. He was limited exclusively to special teams work in two games prior to getting hurt, but if Nailor's activated before Monday's game against the 49ers, he could factor into a Vikings receiving corps that's without Justin Jefferson (hamstring).

Nailor (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The second-year wideout has been placed on IR after being a limited participant during Wednesday's practice. Nailor was restricted to special teams while playing in Minnesota's first two games, recording one total tackle. He'll now be forced to miss at least the next four weeks of the Vikings' campaign and will be eligible to return as early as Week 7.

Nailor (hamstring) was a limited participant at the Vikings' practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Nailor is dealing with an apparent hamstring injury, and his status for Week 3 versus Los Angeles is potentially in question. Minnesota has two more practices this week before they take on the Chargers on Sunday, and the wide receiver's status will be worth monitoring.

Nailor had one tackle while playing 18 snaps on special teams in Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay. He didn't play a snap on offense.
EDGE Analysis
Nailor is the No. 4 receiver on the depth chart, but won't get much action in the passing game unless a top-three wide receiver is injured. He made a big tackle as the gunner on the punt return defensive unit.

Nailor (leg) was a full participant at practice Monday, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
It appears Nailor has now fully recovered from the leg ailment that's limited him since July. As long as Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and K.J. Osborn remain available though, Nailor's path to consistent playing time, let alone targets, is narrow.
