KJ Osborn (concussion) returns to Vikings practice Thursday
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn (concussion) returned to practice on Thursday for Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints.
What It Means:
Osborn turned in a limited session after sitting out Wednesday, so he seems to be making progress. If Osborn is unable to play versus the Saints, there will be more snaps available for Brandon Powell, Trishton Jackson, and N'Keal Harry. Justin Jefferson (hamstring) is expected to remain out Sunday.
Osborn caught 17 passes on 21 targets for 194 yards in three healthy games without Jefferson. He averaged 57.0 snaps and 22.3 routes in those contests. The Saints are allowing the 11th-fewest FanDuel points per game to wide receivers this season and they have the fourth-best pass defense in the league, according to numberFire's opponent-adjusted model.
