Addison Returns to Limited Practice While Jefferson Remains Limited

It narrows the Vikings' short-term receiver uncertainty ahead of Friday's game-day designations.

Overview

  • Jordan Addison missed Wednesday with hamstring soreness and returned to a limited practice session on Thursday, with coach Kevin O’Connell calling the issue minor.
  • Justin Jefferson was limited for a second straight day as he works through an ankle issue and remains hopeful to play this week in his home state of Louisiana.
  • Left tackle Christian Darrisaw did not practice for a second consecutive day while in concussion protocol and right tackle Brian O’Neill was limited, leaving questions on the offensive line.
  • The Vikings signed Odell Beckham Jr. this week and could elevate him from the practice squad if Addison or Jefferson are ruled out for Sunday.
  • Saints starter Kaden Ellis has missed multiple practices with a calf problem and final game-day statuses for both teams will be decided with Friday reports and potential Sunday rulings.
