Vikings' Lucky Jackson: Tough day against Pats
Lucky Jackson caught one of five targets for nine yards in Saturday's 20-12 preseason loss to New England.With Justin Jefferson (hamstring), Jordan Addison (suspension) and Jalen Nailor (hand) all held out of the contest, Jackson got the start but did very little with the opportunity. The second-year wideout out of Western Kentucky is battling with 2025 third-round pick Tai Felton for the No. 4 spot on the depth chart -- a role that could end up being significant early in the season with Addison set to miss the first three games -- but Saturday's performance likely caused Jackson to lose ground in the competition.

Vikings' Lucky Jackson: Making case for significant role
Lucky Jackson caught three of four targets for 30 yards in Saturday's 20-10 preseason win over the Texans.With Jordan Addison (suspension) set to miss the first three games of the regular season, Jalen Nailor will line up as the Minnesota Vikings' No. 2 receiver opposite Justin Jefferson (hamstring), creating a camp competition for the No. 3 job between Jackson and 2025 third-round pick Tai Felton. Felton has the draft pedigree in his favor, but Jackson may be emerging as the frontrunner nonetheless, and his performance Saturday was a notch better than Felton's 2-14-0 line on two targets. Jackson's only NFL experience to date consists of three games for Minnesota in 2023, when he mainly played special teams.

Vikings' Lucky Jackson: Could begin season as No. 3 WR
Lucky Jackson and Tai Felton are the leading candidates to work as the No. 3 receiver to begin the season with Jordan Addison suspended the first three games for violating the league's Substances of Abuse Policy, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.Jackson has been getting work with the first-team offense in camp with Justin Jefferson sidelined by a hamstring injury. Jalen Nailor will move up to the No. 2 spot while Addison is out, but the No. 3 spot is still unsettled. It's surprising that Jackson looks like the early leader for the role since he played only three games last year and got most of his snaps on special teams.
