Addison left the game with an ankle injury in the third quarter.
Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison has been ruled out of Sunday's season opener against the Giants with an ankle injury. He left the game in the third quarter and was evaluated in the medical tent, then eventually walked to the locker room with trainers.
Addison suffered a high-ankle sprain three and a half weeks ago during a joint training camp practice in Cleveland. He was limited in the first couple practices of this week, but was off the final injury report and was cleared to play in this game. Addison had three catches for 35 yards on the Vikings' 99-yard drive thatWithout Addison, the Vikings will lean on Jalen Nailor, Brandon Powell, and Trent Sherfield alongside Jefferson in their wide receiver room.
It's unclear exactly when Addison's injury occurred or if it was an aggravation of the same ankle he previously injured — which seems likely. We should learn more from head coach Kevin O'Connell after the game. Addison, 22, was the Vikings' first-round pick out of USC in 2023. He had 911 receiving yards and ten touchdowns in his rookie season.
