Overview

  • NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports Minnesota is seriously exploring trades for veteran wideouts, with no deal imminent.
  • The urgency stems from Jordan Addison’s three-game suspension tied to a 2024 DUI case and a depleted receiver room.
  • Rondale Moore is out for the season and Jalen Nailor is week-to-week with a hand injury, further tightening depth.
  • Justin Jefferson returned to practice this week after a hamstring issue and is expected to be ready for Week 1.
  • Reporting points to a complementary veteran as the likely target, with Minnesota also evaluating post-cutdown options and free agents such as Amari Cooper.
