KJ OSBORN suffered a concussion during the Minnesota Vikings game on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons after a helmet-to-helmet hit.
Osborn and his teammate Jaren Hall were ruled out due to concussions, while Cam Akers suffered a season-ending Achilles injury.
Head Coach Kevin O’Connell joined the Pat McAfee show on Monday afternoon to give an update on his injured players and said Osborn was “responding well” to the NFL’s concussion protocol.
Meanwhile, WR Justin Jefferson may be returning to the field soon as his 21-day practice window could open as early as this week, head coach Kevin O’Connell revealed.
This comes after he landed on Injured Reserve earlier this season with a hamstring injury.
