Vikings WR Jalen Nailor takes step forward, Josh Metellus impresses and more from OTAs Safety Cam Bynum will likely play multiple positions in Brian Flores' new defense, while Metellus is getting snaps with the first string.
Has four receptions in win Nailor reeled in 4 of 5 targets for 62 yards during Sunday's 29-13 win versus the Bears.
Impact Nailor got playing time in the second half after starters were rested ahead of the playoffs. Nailor has seven receptions for 151 yards and a touchdown in his last two games. Although almost all his playing time was in garbage time, he still showed enough to put him in a good spot to compete for a larger role in 2023.

Catches long TD in garbage time Nailor had three receptions for 89 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss at Green Bay.
Impact Nailor played nine snaps on offense, but almost all of them came late in the game when the Vikings were resting their starters amid a blowout loss (including his 47-yard touchdown), so don't read too much into his performance. However, he could become a focus of the passing game Week 18 if the Vikings bench their starters early in the game or rest them completely ahead of the playoffs.

Not listed on first injury report Nailor (illness) is not listed on the Vikings' injury report Wednesday.
Impact Nailor did not practice at all last week due to an illness, forcing him to sit out Sunday's win over Washington. He appears to be feeling better, giving him a good chance of returning to action in Week 10 versus Buffalo. However, that isn't newsworthy for fantasy managers, as Nailor has taken only one snap on offense so far this season.

Sidelined for Week 9 Nailor (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Practices in full Nailor (hamstring) was listed as a full participant on the Vikings' injury report Wednesday.
Impact Nailor was inactive during Sunday's win over the Bears after being limited with a hamstring injury in practice Thursday and Friday. However, the rookie wideout appears to be healthy again after participating in full during the first practice of Week 6. Nailor recorded once reception on his lone offensive snap of the season in Week 4, and he should continue to primarily play on special teams, barring any injuries to Minnesota's wide receiver corps.

Inactive against Chicago Nailor (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Bears.
Impact Nailor popped up on the injury report list Thursday as a limited participant because of a hamstring injury.

Osborn and Jalen Reagor.

Impact Nailor landed on the injury report Thursday and logged back-to-back limited sessions due to a hamstring injury. The Vikings elevated Dan Chisena from the practice squad Saturday, so he'll likely operate as a depth option behind Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen, K.J. Osborn and Jalen Reagor.
