It’s uncertain if Jordan Addison (ankle) will play against Green Bay on Sunday night.
Jordan Addison, a wide receiver for the Vikings, is doubtful to play against the Packers on Sunday night due to an ankle injury. So is fellow rookie Mekhi Blackmon (shoulder), who will start at cornerback if he’s available.
CB Byron Murphy Jr., S Theo Jackson, WR Jalen Nailor, and DT Jaquelin Roy are all out for the Vikings. Backup LB Troy Dye is also questionable.
It would be enormous for the Vikings if Addison and Blackmon can play. In the first home start for rookie quarterback Jaren Hall, Addison would be a key component of the offensive attack against Green Bay’s struggling defense—which won’t have suspended corner Jaire Alexander. If Blackmon can’t go, the Vikings will be down to Akayleb Evans and Andrew Booth Jr. as their starting corners with Murphy missing a second consecutive game.
This week, TE T.J. Hockenson and OLB D.J. Wonnum were placed on injured reserve. Starting in their place will be Patrick Jones II and Johnny Mundt, respectively. As usual, Josh Oliver will play a significant role for the Vikings at tight end, but Mundt is expected to take over Hockenson’s receiving role.
The Packers are also expected to be without LB De’Vondre Campbell and WR Christian Watson, who are both listed as doubtful, in addition to Alexander. WR Dontayvion Wicks and S Darnell Savage are dubious.
