Blake Brandel: Everything you need to know

Brandel (concussion) was a full participant in practice Thursday. 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.

Brandel is in concussion protocol, but was symptom-free Monday, Emily Leiker of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports. Brandel appears to have suffered a concussion in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Seahawks, and he will have to clear concussion protocol in order to be available for the team's matchup with Washington in Week 14. With Ryan Kelly (hip) also banged up, Minnesota could be thin at interior offensive line against the Commanders.
