Overview
- The Vikings brought in JuJu Smith‑Schuster for a workout on Monday and did not sign him after the visit.
- Minnesota also hosted other veteran receivers for evaluations, including D'Wayne Eskridge and Dayton Wade, while Odell Beckham Jr. remains on the practice squad.
- Team officials used the workouts to check medical status, route‑running and on‑field movement rather than make an immediate roster commitment.
- The depth checks follow injuries to key receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, with reports saying Addison is expected to be available after the Week 6 bye.
- Smith‑Schuster is being evaluated as a short‑term depth piece given his Pro Bowl peak in 2018 and limited production in recent seasons, and a signing would likely follow only if health or performance needs increase.
