It's the second straight game for Nailor with a touchdown to start the season. He operated as Minnesota's No. 2 receiver with Jordan Addison sidelined with an ankle injury he sustained last week. Nailor will continue as the team's WR2 in Week 3 against the Texans if Addison remains out.
Addison, who was injured on a hip drop tackle in Week 1, was declared out on Friday after missing practice all week. He could miss more time with the injury. For now, Jalen Nailor should run as the Vikings' No. 2 wideout behind Justin Jefferson.
A rundown of injuries around the NFL for Week 2
The Vikings will have to try to get to 2-0 without the help of wide receiver Jordan Addison.
Addison's second NFL season is off to a brutal start, having already sprained both ankles. Jalen Nailor can be deployed as a deep-league flex option, though the third-year receiver remains a largely unproven player.
