The Colts placed Sendejo (concussion/undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.
Sendejo missed the last two games with a concussion and remainded in concussion protocol to begin the week. While it's not clear whether the safety has tested positive for COVID-19, he'll likely be unavailable for Sunday's Week 18 matchup against the Jaguars. Assuming Sendejo is sidelined, George Odum should continue to start for the Colts.

Rotowire
Sendejo (concussion) won't play in Sunday's contest against the Texans, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official website reports.
Sendejo drew back-to-back starts while Khari Willis was dealing with a groin injury, but he picked up a concussion during Week 5 and will be sidelined for at least one week. Willis returned against the Ravens, but he played only 19 snaps. However, Willis will likely again assume the starting gig for Week 6 with Sendejo unavailable.

Browns' Andrew Sendejo: Tagged as questionable
Rotowire
Sendejo (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Sendejo missed back-to-back practices to start the week but logged a limited session Friday. The 33-year-old safety has started every game this year and will look to keep that streak alive Sunday against the Jaguars. Through 10 outings, Sendejo has registered 53 tackles and a forced fumble.

Browns' Andrew Sendejo: Good to go for Week 7
Rotowire
Sendejo (shin) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bengals, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
The shin injury kept Sendejo from practicing to start the week, but it won't keep him off the field come game day. Sendejo hasn't missed a snap all season and should continue to play a key role in Cleveland's secondary against a Bengals offense that could go more pass-heavy than usual with starting running back Joe Mixon (foot) unavailable.

Browns' Andrew Sendejo: Lands with Cleveland
Rotowire
Sendejo is signing a one-year, $2.25 million contract with the Browns, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Sendejo was a consistent starter for the Vikings from 2015 to 2017, but a groin injury limited him to five appearances in 2018 and he then signed with Philadelphia last offseason. The Eagles ended up waiving him in November, at which point Sendejo landed back with the Vikings and ended up starting a couple more games. He'd ideally be used as a No. 3 safety and key special teams player, but the current state of Cleveland's depth chart suggests the 32-year-old might get a starting job.

Vikings' Andrew Sendejo: Expected to start at safety
Rotowire
Sendejo (groin) is active for Sunday's game against Denver and expected to start at safety opposite Harrison Smith, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports
Sendejo sat out last Sunday's win over the Cowboys but returned to practice as a limited participant this week. The veteran safety spent the first nine weeks of the season with the Eagles but was waived and claimed by the Vikings on Nov. 6. He'll get the start with Anthony Harris out.

Vikings' Andrew Sendejo: Sits out practice Thursday
Rotowire
Sendejo (groin) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.
The Vikings claimed Sendejo off waivers from the Eagles on Wednesday, and the injury could prevent him from gearing up Sunday against the Cowboys. The veteran safety, who spent eight seasons with the Vikings before signing with the Eagles in March, could be in line for a respectable workload behind Harrison Smith and Anthony Harris once he's healthy.

Eagles' Andrew Sendejo: Modest role in win
Rotowire
Sendejo notched two tackles (both solo) during Sunday's 31-13 win over the Bills.
Sendejo played 40 percent of snaps on defense during the Week 8 win. As long as Sendejo is relegated to a rotational role, he'll remain off the radar in IDP formats.

Eagles' Andrew Sendejo: Notches sack versus Falcons
Rotowire
Sendejo recorded three tackles (two solo) and one sack during Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Falcons.
Sendejo managed a disruptive performance despite playing only 20 snaps on defense (30 percent). The veteran's rotational role keeps him off the fantasy radar in most IDP formats, but Sendejo could conceivably earn increased snaps if he continues to impress versus the Lions in Week 3.

Vikings' Andrew Sendejo: Practices for third straight day
Rotowire
Sendejo (concussion) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Sendejo continues to work his way back after a hit to the head from Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas knocked him out of the game Sunday. The veteran safety has yet to be officially cleared by an independent neurologist, but he sufficiently progressed through the concussion protocol so as to practice all week. Sendejo's presence is crucial, considering Eagles quarterback Nick Foles exposed Atlanta's secondary in last Sunday's divisional-round win by completing 76.7 percent of his pass attempts and throwing for 246 yards.

Vikings' Andrew Sendejo: Returns in limited capacity
Rotowire
Sendejo (concussion), who was a limited practice participant Wednesday, seems to be, "on track to start" in Sunday's NFC championship game in Philadelphia, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
Suiting up this weekend will depend on Sendejo's progress through the concussion protocol, but he's through enough of the five steps to have taken part in individual drills Wednesday, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL.com. Sendejo would improve his odds to play with a full practice by the end of the week. In the end, though, the Vikings' starting strong safety must receive clearance from an independent neurologist in order to do so.

Vikings' Andrew Sendejo: Progressing through protocol
Rotowire
Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said Sendejo (concussion) would take part in individual drills during Wednesday's practice, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com reports.
Zimmer added that Sendejo had passed through some steps in the NFL's concussion protocol, which the safety entered Sunday after colliding with Saints wideout Michael Thomas in the Vikings' 29-24 divisional-round victory. Sendejo will likely need to resume taking contact in practice later this week and receive clearance from an independent neurologist before he's given the green light to play this weekend in the NFC championship against the Eagles. Anthony Harris would be next man up at safety if Sendejo is unable to play.

Vikings' Andrew Sendejo: Enters concussion protocol
Rotowire
Sendejo was ruled out for the remainder Sunday's divisional-round game against the Saints and is in the concussion protocol.
Sendejo collided heads with Saints receiver Michael Thomas on a route combination and appeared to be knocked unconscious, and was briefly labeled questionable to return. Anthony Harris started in Sendejo's absence at strong safety earlier this season and could be in that position again for the rest of Sunday's game.

Vikings' Andrew Sendejo: Ready to play Saturday
Rotowire
Sendejo (ankle) is active for Saturday's game against the Packers.
The long-time Vikings safety was limited in practice this week, but he has progressed enough to slot into Saturday's contest that holds seeding implications. Sendejo has already logged 70 tackles and two interceptions this season, and he'll have plenty of opportunities against the run and pass Saturday since the Packers run a more balanced offense with Brett Hundley under center.

Rotowire
Sendejo (ankle) was a limited participant at the Vikings' practice Wednesday.
Sendejo was unable to practice Tuesday, so his progression to limited participation a day later is a good sign. Thursday's practice session will be pivotal in determining the veteran safety's availability for Saturday's game against the Packers.

Vikings' Andrew Sendejo: On injury report with ankle issue
Rotowire
Sendejo was listed as non-participant in Tuesday's estimated practice report due to an ankle injury, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Sendejo played a season-low 47 snaps in the Vikings' 34-7 win over the Bengals on Sunday, though the large margin of victory might have had more to do with the safety's limited usage than any injury. In any event, the Vikings will wait and see what Sendejo is able to do at their official practices Wednesday and Thursday before deciding his fate for the Week 16 showdown with the Packers.
