As the Minnesota Vikings get ready to host their home opener this Sunday, they will have to do so without one of their starting wide receivers.
On Friday, the Vikings announced that Jordan Addison, who injured his ankle during last week’s 28-6 victory over the New York Giants, will not play this Sunday when they host the San Fransisco 49ers.
Addison contributed three receptions on four separate targets for 35 receiving yards before being pulled in the second half after sustaining an injury to his ankle.
At this time, there is no timeline for his return.
San Francisco star running back Christian McCaffrey will miss his second straight game with a calf/Achilles injury.
In addition to Addison being sidelined, three other Vikings players head into the weekend as questionable: Guard Ed Ingram, offensive tackle Brian O’Neill and Safety Harrison Smith.
