There are several WRs dealing with injuries and no team is immune from it in 2023.
The Vikings officially placed receiver Justin Jefferson on injured reserve Wednesday which means he is going to miss at least the next four games. He has never missed a game in his career, but will now miss at least four as he works his way back onto the field.
Jefferson strained his right hamstring in the fourth quarter of a 27-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. He slipped on the turf at U.S. Bank Stadium while running a route and didn’t return.
Jordan Addison is expected to take an even bigger role in the offense and his head coach made sure the world knew it.
Coach Kevin O’Connell commented on rookie Jordan Addison, but in doing so, he may have unintentionally taken a shot at him.
While stating his expectations for Addison this weekend, he said he wanted to ‘hit the gas’ with no pun intended.
“He was one of my favorite players I evaluated in the draft. … Since then, it’s been positive after positive, outside of driving a little fast one time. My expectation is we hit the gas with Jordan this weekend. No pun intended.”

Three days before the start of Vikings training camp, rookie wide receiver Jordan Addison was cited for speeding and reckless driving after Minnesota State Patrol pulled him over for driving 140 miles per hour in a 55-mph zone.
Addison was driving at such a high speed because his dog was having an emergency at home. The rookie was issued a citation for the violation.
Luckily, everybody was okay on this night.
