The Vikings are pleased with Brandel's development as a depth player since his selection in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, as demonstrated by the team's decision to re-sign him in free agency for a second time.

Able to practice in full Thursday
Brandel (concussion) was a full participant in practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
It's not clear if Brandel has officially cleared concussion protocol, but he's certainly trending in the right direction with his full practice session Thursday. He was said to be symptom-free as of Monday, though he logged a limited practice session Wednesday. Ultimately, Brandel should suit up Sunday against Washington as long as he has indeed cleared protocol by then.
