Vikings could activate receiver Jalen Nailor, then unleash him on offense

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:28:44 GMT

Jalen Nailor took advantage of his opportunity in the spring, showing up to TCO Performance Center for organized team activities, and proving himself as a playmaker with Justin Jefferson not in attendance.It looked like Nailor was on the pathway toward having a big role with the Vikings’ offense.Instead, the 24-year-old receiver has struggled to gain any traction, battling a calf injury in the summer, then a hamstring injury in the fall. He has been on injured reserve for the past month, though head coach Kevin O’Connell said the Vikings might activate Nailor before they play host to the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football.“You guys have always known how excited I am about Jalen and his potential fit in our offense,” O’Connell said. “He truly has the skill set to develop into kind of a universal player for us, and with Justin being out right now, adding that to the room would be critical for us.”It’s trending in the right dire...

Which pass rushers step up for the Vikings with Marcus Davenport out?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:28:44 GMT

The impact of Marcus Davenport has been apparent any time he has been on the field for the Vikings this season. The pass rush has had noticeably more juice when Davenport has been paired with Danielle Hunter off the edge. It’s exactly what the Vikings had in mind when they signed Davenport to a 1-year, $13 million contract this past offseason.The biggest issue for Davenport has been staying healthy. He suffered an injury to his right ankle that forced him to miss a couple of games, then after working his way back to full strength, he suffered an injury to his left ankle that has landed him on injured reserve.Though the Vikings have gotten incredible production from Hunter, who is tied for the NFL lead with 8.0 sacks, they need more from the other pass rushers on the team.“I was really excited about that room, and I still am,” head coach Kevin O’Connell said. “Just our depth is going to be tested now.”Here’s a tale of the tape for Vikings pas...

By NOAH TRISTER (AP Sports Writer)ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Zac Larrier threw a 94-yard touchdown to Dane Kinamon — the longest pass in Air Force history — and the 22nd-ranked Falcons shut down Navy 17-6 on Saturday.Air Force (7-0) gained almost as many yards on that one play as Navy (3-4) did in the entire game. The Falcons seemed to back off defensively late, allowing the Midshipmen to drive 78 yards for their only touchdown. They finished with 124 yards.Larrier, whose availability for this game was a surprise after coach Troy Calhoun said earlier in the week the injured quarterback would be out “a while,” completed only four passes, but they went for a total of 151 yards.Larrier threw a 34-yard pass to Jared Roznos in the first quarter that Navy was fortunate wasn’t a longer gain. That drive ended in a missed field goal.On the first play of the second quarter, with the Falcons facing second-and-10 from their own 6, Larrier found Kinamon up the right sideline.

SANTA CLARA — Christian McCaffrey is the most likely of three prominent injured 49ers to play Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings.McCaffrey was on the field practicing with his teammates Saturday during the media window, while left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) and wide receiver Deebo Samuel (shoulder) were not present as the 49ers began team drills.Coach Kyle Shanahan will provide a official injury update following practice before the 49ers (5-1) depart for Minnesota to face the Vikings (2-4).Regarding Williams and Samuel, It’s unusual but not unprecedented for players to miss practice all week and then play in a game.A Monday night game gives players an extra day to heal up, which 49ers general manager John Lynch said is a bigger deal than it may seem.Christian McCaffrey practicing Saturday for #49ers.

LONDON (AP) — On a day when English soccer mourned the passing of Bobby Charlton, Manchester City and Liverpool got back on track with wins in the Premier League.The death of Charlton, the 1966 World Cup winner and perhaps England’s and Manchester United’s greatest ever player, was announced during the halftime break of Saturday’s five afternoon games, overshadowing the results on the field on a busy day as the Premier League returned after the international break. “The whole football world is losing a legend, a big personality, a giant,” Man United manager Erik ten Hag said ahead of his team’s emotionally charged visit to Sheffield United in the evening kickoff. United’s players laid a wreath in the center of the field and took part in a period of applause before the game started.City and Liverpool bounced back from two straight disappointing results with comfortable wins to reignite a title rivalry that is showing signs of once again going deep into the sea...
