Jalen Nailor: Jalen Nailor Dealing With Hand Injury

Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connel said that wide receiver Jalen Nailor (hand) is dealing with a hand injury and will be evaluated. Nailor's hand injury could end up being minor, but as The Athletic's Alec Lewis notes, Minnesota's receiver depth in training camp is now being tested. All-Pro Justin Jefferson (hamstring) has been out since early in camp, and the Vikes are also bracing for Jordan Addison to miss the first three games of the year due to a suspension. The 26-year-old Nailor should have an increased role early in the season with Addison suspended, but RotoBaller doesn't have him ranked inside the top 100 wideouts for fantasy. In his third season in Minnesota last year, Nailor only caught 28 of 42 targets for 414 yards and six touchdowns in 17 regular-season games (seven starts) in a career year for quarterback Sam Darnold.
