Vikings' K.J. Osborn: Clears protocol, may not play

Osborn has fully cleared the NFL's concussion protocol but remains listed as questionable and isn't considered a lock to play Sunday versus the Saints, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Osborn practiced in full Friday and has since gained clearance to play from an independent neurologist, but the Vikings might still opt to take a cautious approach to his health and give the wideout the game off to recover after he suffered the concussion in the team's Week 9 win over Atlanta. His status will be made official when Minnesota releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Meanwhile, wideout Justin Jefferson (hamstring) has been ruled out for this week after not being activated from injured reserve Saturday, while tight end T.J. Hockenson (ribs) is expected to play.
