We got the answer to Matt Asiata’s concussion protocol progression. He has passed because he was practicing during the portion of practice open to reporters moments ago.
Meanwhile, receiver Cordarrelle Patterson, defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd and running back Jerick McKinnon weren’t spotted by these eyes. Floyd missed Sunday’s game because of a knee injury. Patterson injured his ankle and knee on a kickoff return. And McKinnon has been battling a low back injury for a couple of weeks.
The Vikings will issue an injury report at the end of practice, so it’s best to wait to see the official word on injuries.
