Vikings Rule Out Jordan Addison for Packers Game because of Thumb Injury
Jordan Addison and Josh Metellus are questionable after Friday practice injuries, while the Vikings also ruled out several starters for Sunday.
- On Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings officially ruled out wide receiver Jordan Addison for their matchup against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field due to a thumb injury.
- Head coach Kevin O'Connell added Addison to the injury report Friday after the receiver sustained the thumb injury during practice, dampening the reunion with quarterback Kirk Cousins.
- Minnesota's offensive depth faces significant challenges with tight end T.J. Hockenson and receiver Jauan Jennings also ruled out. The Vikings elevated receiver Jeshaun Jones and tight end Devin Culp from the practice squad Saturday to bolster depth.
- Wide receiver Justin Jefferson becomes the primary target for quarterback Kirk Cousins in his return to Minnesota. Jefferson has recorded 31 catches for 393 yards and four scores this season, positioning him as the focal point of the passing attack.
- Entering the game with a 6-2 record, the Vikings seek to rebound after losing two consecutive contests against a 6-3 Packers team. The personnel absences test Minnesota's ability to compete in this pivotal division matchup.
