Jalen Nailor had two receptions for 16 yards on four targets in Thursday's loss to the Rams.Nailor was second on the team in targets and played on 21 of the offense's 50 snaps.

Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Productive in loss to Detroit
Jalen Nailor had four receptions for 76 yards on five targets in Sunday's loss to Detroit.After failing to register a target in a Week 5 win over the Jets, Nailor was active and second in the team in targets. He played on 44 of the offense's 60 snaps as he'll be involved when the team uses three-receiver sets. However, his production will likely be erratic as a distant third option behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. Nailor's No. 3 receiver role also could be reduced if T.J. Hockenson is able to return from a knee injury Thursday against the Rams.

Vikings' Jalen Nailor: No targets in win
Jalen Nailor didn't have a target or carry in Sunday's win over the Jets in London.Nailor played on 41 of the offense's 73 snaps and went out on 25 routes, according to Pro Football Focus. He's getting time in the offense as the third receiver but may not get many targets as long as Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison are healthy. Nailor's role could be reduced further if T.J. Hockenson is able to return from a knee injury after Minnesota's bye in Week 6.

Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Big gain on one catch
Jalen Nailor secured one of two targets for 31 yards and netted no gain on one punt return in the Minnesota Vikings' 31-29 win over the Packers on Sunday.Nailor shifted to the No. 3 receiver role due to Jordan Addison returning from a two-game absence due to an ankle issue, but the former still made an impact on his one catch. The 2022 sixth-round pick saw his season-opening touchdown streak snapped at three games, but given his speed, Nailor should continue seeing a small share of complementary targets from Sam Darnold overseas in a London battle against the Jets in Week 5.

Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Scores again in Sunday's win
Jalen Nailor caught three of four targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-7 win over the Texans.While he didn't see big volume once again, even with Jordan Addison (ankle) sidelined, Nailor still extended his season-opening TD streak to three games with a four-yard reception from Sam Darnold in the third quarter. Nailor has yet to see more than four targets in a game, so his production so far has been almost entirely dependent on his trips to the end zone, but he'll look to hit pay dirt again in Week 4 against the Packers.

Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Another TD in Week 2 win
Jalen Nailor secured three of four targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in the Minnesota Vikings' 23-17 win over the 49ers on Sunday.Nailor finished second in receiving yards to Justin Jefferson (quadriceps) and recorded his second touchdown in as many weeks to open the campaign on a 10-yard grab just past the midway point of the third quarter. Nailor had a chance for additional opportunity with Jordan Addison (ankle) missing the contest altogether and Jefferson exiting late in the third quarter, and if at least one is out for a Week 3 home showdown against the Texans, he could serve as the No. 2 wideout for Sam Darnold in what could be a high-scoring contest.

Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Scores TD in season opener
Jalen Nailor had one reception (on one target) for a 21-yard touchdown in Sunday's win over the Giants.Nailor played just 26 of 55 snaps on offense and was out-snapped by Brandon Powell (30 snaps) even though he had clearly won the No. 3 receiver role in the preseason. The Minnesota Vikings may have capped Nailor's snaps after he had a sore ankle that limited him in practice last week. If he's fully healthy, he could have a much larger role in the offense next week against the 49ers if Jordan Addison misses time with an ankle injury.

Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Good to go
Jalen Nailor (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at the Giants.Nailor followed the same practice pattern as Jordan Addison (ankle), closing out the week with a full session after being limited Wednesday and Thursday. Nailor is expected to open the season as Minnesota's No. 3 wide receiver, but it's not clear exactly what that will mean in terms of his quantity of snaps and targets. Last year, K.J. Osborn handled the No. 3 WR role in coach Kevin O'Connell's offense and averaged just 4.7 targets per game even though the Minnesota Vikings averaged 37.1 pass attempts and Justin Jefferson missed a large chunk of the season.

Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Limited again Thursday
Jalen Nailor (ankle) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.The Minnesota Vikings' Week 1 injury report includes just two players, but the other one aside from Nailor is Jordan Addison (ankle). Both wide receivers have operated with caps on their practice reps Wednesday and Thursday, but coach Kevin O'Connell has acknowledged that Nailor is a few days behind Addison in his recovery, per Alec Lewis of The Athletic. Friday's report may provide clarity into whether one or both of them is on track to suit up Sunday at the Giants.

Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Officially limited Wednesday
Jalen Nailor (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.Mere hours after head coach Kevin O'Connell told Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press that Nailor may have a cap on his reps Wednesday due to an ankle injury, the third-year receiver upheld that comment. Both Jordan Addison (ankle) and Nailor are in the same boat this week, so their activity levels will be monitored over the next two days to get a sense of their respective chances of playing in Sunday's season opener at the Giants. Nailor is entering the 2024 campaign as the Minnesota Vikings' No. 3 wideout behind Justin Jefferson and Addison, but in 21 career appearances so far, he's managed just 12 catches (on 19 targets) for 228 yards and one touchdown.
