Owens was placed on the active/non-football illness list by the Vikings on Monday.
The running back can be activated from the list at any point during training camp once he's ready to practice. Owens was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Vikings in April after recording 1,334 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on 213 carries (6.3 YPC) with Florida International last season.

Vikings' Kejon Owens: Joins Vikings as UDFA
Rotowire
Minnesota signed Owens as an undrafted free agent Saturday.
Owens spent his five collegiate seasons with Florida International and broke out in his first big opportunity as a senior, racking up 1,334 rushing yards with 11 touchdowns on 213 carries (6.3 YPC). He added 67 yards on 18 receptions as a pass catcher. Minnesota features Aaron Jones, Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott at RB, so Owens may need to earn his way to an opportunity on NFL gamedays via the practice squad.
