Osborn has fully cleared the NFL's concussion protocol but remains listed as questionable and isn't considered a lock to play Sunday versus the Saints, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Osborn practiced in full Friday and has since gained clearance to play from an independent neurologist, but the Vikings might still opt to take a cautious approach to his health and give the wideout the game off to recover after he suffered the concussion in the team's Week 9 win over Atlanta. His status will be made official when Minnesota releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Meanwhile, wideout Justin Jefferson (hamstring) has been ruled out for this week after not being activated from injured reserve Saturday, while tight end T.J. Hockenson (ribs) is expected to play.

Osborn (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthew Coller of 1500 ESPN reports that Osborn progressed to full participation Friday after returning to practice Thursday as a limited participant. He'll still need clearance from an independent neurologist, whereas fellow pass catchers Justin Jefferson (hamstring) and T.J. Hockenson (ribs) -- both listed as questionable -- likely will consult with team doctors before a decision is made on their availability. The Vikings and Saints have an early afternoon kickoff at 1 ET.

Osborn (concussion) was limited at practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Osborn endured a helmet-to-helmet hit this past Sunday in Atlanta that sent him into the concussion protocol, which didn't allow him to log any on-field work Wednesday. One day later, though, he made his way back to the practice field and logged some reps, per Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Osborn likely has a few more phases to pass through to gain clearance to play again, but he at least is on a path to do so. Friday's injury report could be telling for his potential to suit up Sunday versus the Saints.

Osborn (concussion) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Osborn was on the receiving end of a helmet-to-helmet hit this past Sunday in Atlanta that sent him into the concussion protocol. The play left him motionless on the turf for a handful of minutes before he made his way to the sideline and eventually the locker room. Osborn's inability to take part in the Vikings' first Week 10 practice isn't a promising sign that he's on track to clear all five phases of the protocol in time to play Sunday against the Saints. Ultimately, Osborn's listing on Friday's injury report may be telling for his upcoming availability.

Osborn sustained a concussion during Sunday's game in Atlanta and won't return, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After taking a helmet-to-helmet hit in the second quarter, Osborn stayed down on the turf for a spell as he was tended to by the Vikings' medical staff. He eventually was able to get to his feet and then was escorted to the locker room on a cart. With Justin Jefferson (hamstring) on injured reserve and Jalen Nailor (hamstring) inactive, Minnesota's healthy and available wide receivers are Jordan Addison, Brandon Powell, Trishton Jackson and N'Keal Harry.

Osborn departed Sunday's game at Atlanta with an apparent head injury, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Osborn took a wicked helmet-to-helmet hit from Falcons cornerback Dee Alford in the second quarter and remained on the turf for some time. After he was tended to by the Vikings' medical staff, Osborn got to his feet and made his way to the cart. If he's unable to return, he'll finish Week 9 with two catches (on two targets) for 17 yards.

Osborn (chest) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Osborn operated with a cap on his practice reps Wednesday and Thursday due to a chest injury, but it won't impact his availability for Week 9 action. The biggest question mark for Osborn moving forward is who will be throwing him passes in the weeks ahead after Kirk Cousins was lost for the season due to a torn Achilles. The Vikings are in line to start rookie fifth-rounder Jaren Hall on Sunday, but the team also acquired Joshua Dobbs from the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Osborn (chest) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Osborn is coming off his most productive performance of the season (8-99-0 line on 10 targets) this past Sunday at Green Bay. He now has the double whammy of an injury to tend to and the Vikings' No. 1 quarterback Kirk Cousins going down with a torn Achilles in that contest, thereby ending the latter's season. Osborn will have one more chance this week to get back to all on-field work before the team potentially hands him a designation for Sunday's game in Atlanta. Assuming he's able to suit up, he likely will be on the receiving end of passes from rookie fifth-round pick Jaren Hall considering Joshua Dobbs only joined Minnesota from Arizona on Tuesday.

Osborn was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a chest injury.

EDGE Analysis

In the three games that Justin Jefferson (hamstring) has missed during his current IR stint, Osborn's snap share hasn't been impacted at all on a weekly basis, and his output (17-194-0 on 21 targets) has experienced a slight uptick. Meanwhile, rookie first-round pick Jordan Addison has exploded for a 17-233-4 line on 23 targets in the same span. If Osborn is able to put his current health concern behind him for Sunday's game in Atlanta, he likely will be working with rookie quarterback Jaren Hall after Kirk Cousins tore his Achilles this past Sunday at Green Bay.

Osborn caught eight of 10 passes for 99 yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

The fourth-year wideout led Minnesota in catches, yards and targets, but it was Jordan Addison and T.J. Hockenson on the end of TD passes from Kirk Cousins. The quarterback suffered what's feared to be a season-ending Achilles tear late in Sunday's game, and his loss would impact the production and ceiling of all the team's receiving options, including Osborn. Jaren Hall, a fifth-round pick in 2023, will likely be under center in Week 9 against the Falcons, with veteran backup Nick Mullens (back) eligible to come off IR as soon as Week 10.
