Vikings' Brandon Powell: Exits briefly with rib injury
Brandon Powell didn't have a reception on two targets in Sunday's win over Green Bay. He returned one punt for 10 yards. He missed the end of the first half with a rib injury but later returned, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.Powell had to sit out for awhile after taking a hard hit to the ribs while trying to make a catch. Jalen Nailor muffed a punt return in place of Powell as the backup punt returner. Despite the injury, Powell still played 23 snaps on offense and ran 16 routes, which was ahead of Trent Sherfield (just three routes), though Sherfield had a reception. Both Powell and Sherfield will play minor roles on offense with the return of Jordan Addison from an ankle injury.

Vikings' Brandon Powell: Held without a catch Week 1
Brandon Powell was not targeted during Minnesota's 28-6 win over the Giants in Week 1.Powell did return one punt for one yard, but that was the extent of his involvement on the stat sheet in a dominant showing by the Minnesota Vikings. The Jets downed two punts and sent another three out of bounds, so Powell's involvement as Minnesota's primary punt returner could grow Week 2 against the 49ers on Sunday. He'll also figure to step into a larger offensive role behind Justin Jefferson should Jordan Addison (ankle) be limited at all due to injury.

Vikings' Brandon Powell: Two receptions in preseason win
Brandon Powell had two receptions for 19 yards on two targets in Saturday's preseason win over Cleveland.It's hard to take too much away from a preseason game where the Minnesota Vikings rested almost all their starters, but Jalen Nailor again outshined Powell in the competition for the third receiver role. Nailor had one reception for 31 yards on two targets after an impressive first preseason game where Powell did little. It looks like Nailor has a big lead for the third receiver role as a result. Whoever wins the job could have significant fantasy value early in the season with the Vikings possibly utilizing three-receiver sets more often, as tight end T.J. Hockenson is likely to miss several games as he recovers from January surgery on a torn ACL.
