Overview

• NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports the Vikings are “seriously exploring” trading for a veteran receiver, with no move viewed as imminent.
• The search follows Jordan Addison’s three-game suspension, Rondale Moore’s season-ending knee injury, and Jalen Nailor being week-to-week with a hand issue.
• Justin Jefferson is back practicing and on track for Week 1 after a hamstring issue, leaving his early-season counterpart unsettled.
• The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reports the Jets and 49ers are also making calls on receivers, increasing competition for potential deals.
• Minnesota has roughly $26.4 million in cap space and faces an Aug. 26 roster cutdown that could shape timing and choices between a short-term rental and a longer-term addition.
