Vikings Get a Speed Infusion as Receiver Returns to Practice

Nicknamed Speedy, Jalen Nailor has the potential to play a critical role in Kevin O’Connell’s offense. The Vikings get a boost when he’s in the lineup.

Justin Jefferson is going to continue demanding the lion’s share of targets as he scorches defenses on a regular basis. Meanwhile, K.J. Osborn has shown himself to be plenty capable of working off of #18 and Jordan Addison has the potential to develop into a shifty chain-mover. Nailor, though, figures to have a very specific job: take the top off of defenses.

Unfortunately, Nailor has been struggling to do that recently since he has been healing from an injury, but the team got some good news on that front.
