• Vikings' Jordan Addison: Misses practice

  2H ago • By RotoWire

  Addison (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday. Coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that he was hoping to have Addison back for Week 3 against Houston after he missed Sunday's win over the 49ers with an ankle sprain suffered Week 1. While the practice absence isn't ideal, O'Connell said Wednesday that Addison is "still in that day-to-day world" and getting treatment on his injured ankle, per Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Fellow Vikings wideout Justin Jefferson (quad) is listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's injury report.

• Vikings' Jordan Addison: Could return to action Week 3

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that the team is hoping Addison (ankle) will be available Week 3 versus the Texans, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports. O'Connell said the Vikings will need to see what type of work Addison can handle in practice this week, and that the team's priority remains his long-term health, but it looks like there's a chance the second-year wideout could be back in action as early as Sunday. Top wide receiver Justin Jefferson (quad), who was forced out of action Week 2 due to a bruised quadriceps, also has been labeled day-to-day, which bodes well for the health of Minnesota's passing game heading into a tough road matchup against Houston.

• Vikings' Jordan Addison: Not looking good for Week 2

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Addison (ankle) isn't practicing Friday and thus seems unlikely to play Sunday against the 49ers, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Addison sprained his left ankle in August but made it back for Week 1, only to sprain his right ankle in a win over the Giants. He hasn't practiced at all this week, which likely leaves Jalen Nailor and Brandon Powell to join Justin Jefferson in three-wide formations come Sunday.

• Vikings' Jordan Addison: Missing from Thursday's practice

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Addison (ankle) wasn't spotted on the field at Thursday's practice, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. With Addison set to miss a second consecutive practice, he'll likely need to get back on the field Friday as at least a limited participant to have a realistic chance at playing in Sunday's game against the 49ers. Should Addison's right ankle injury keep him inactive Sunday, Jalen Nailor and Brandon Powell would likely be featured more prominently in three-receiver sets alongside No. 1 option Justin Jefferson.

• Vikings' Jordan Addison: Hopeful for Week 2

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday he's "hopeful" that Addison (ankle) will be available versus the 49ers in Week 2, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. O'Connell said that Addison, who was forced out of Sunday's win over the Giants in the third quarter, is dealing with "significant soreness" in his right ankle. Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports that O'Connell also said the Vikings will be "smart" with Addison and that the second-year wideout's availability will depend on how he responds to treatment. If Addison does have to miss any time, an increased role behind Justin Jefferson could fall to Jalen Nailor, who scored a 21-yard touchdown on his only reception Week 1.
