The Vikings placed Okudah (concussion) on injured reserve Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Okudah entered the league's concussion protocol after taking a hit to the head during the Vikings' Week 8 loss to the Chargers. He was unable to play against the Lions in Week 9, and by being placed on injured reserve, he will be required to miss at least the next four games. That makes Week 14 against the Commanders on Sunday, Dec. 7 the earliest that Okudah can be activated from IR. Fabian Moreau could see more defensive snaps at corner for as long as Okudah is sidelined.

Okudah (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Okudah sat out Week 9 due to a concussion he suffered in Week 8 against the Chargers, and he will miss a second straight week with the injury. The Vikings defense will once again be short a depth piece without the 26-year-old cornerback present to back up starters Isaiah Rodgers and Byron Murphy.

Okudah (concussion) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Okudah sat out Week 9 at Detroit due to a concussion he suffered in Week 8 against the Chargers, and he was still on the sideline to begin Minnesota's new week of preparation. In addition to clearing league concussion protocol by Sunday, he'll probably have to practice Thursday or Friday to have any chance of suiting up in Week 10 versus the Ravens.

EDGE Analysis
Okudah suffered a concussion in the Vikings' loss to the Chargers in Week 8 and was unable to practice in any capacity leading up to Sunday's game against the Lions. His absence will thin Minnesota's secondary.

Okudah (concussion) has been downgraded to out for the rest of Thursday night's game against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
The cornerback was being evaluated for a concussion earlier in the second half. Okudah made one tackle before exiting. Tavierre Thomas and Dwight McGlothern could take over Okudah's rotational role in his absence.

Okudah is getting evaluated for a concussion during Thursday's game against the Chargers, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
If Okudah has a concussion, it would be his second of the season, as he suffered one in the opener against the Bears and then missed Week 2 versus the Falcons. The rotational cornerback made one solo tackle before leaving Thursday's contest.

Okudah (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bengals, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Okudah has cleared the league's concussion protocol after he missed Week 2 against the Falcons. The veteran cornerback played 16 defensive snaps against the Bears in Week 1, logging a pair of tackles.

Okudah (concussion) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Okudah was unavailable for the team's 22-6 loss to the Falcons in Week 2 while recovering from a concussion that he suffered in Week 1. His ability to log a full practice to open the week is a major step in his recovery, and the cornerback will have two more chances to build on Wednesday's session ahead of Sunday's matchup with Cincinnati.

Okudah (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Okudah sustained a concussion during the Vikings' Week 1 win over the Bears and hasn't cleared protocol, making him unable to suit up Sunday. Before exiting the Week 1 win, the 26-year-old played 14 defensive snaps and recorded two solo tackles. With Okudah and Isaiah Rodgers (elbow) both dealing with injuries, the only cornerbacks on Minnesota's current roster without injury designations are Tavierre Thomas, Byron Murphy and Dwight McGlothern.

Okudah (concussion) did not practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Okudah is in the league's concussion protocol, and starting cornerback Isaiah Rodgers (elbow) was limited Thursday after not being listed on the injury report Wednesday. Minnesota would likely need to add a cornerback if neither player can suit up Sunday night against the Falcons.
