The Minnesota Vikings undoubtedly have an outstanding receiving tandem led by Justin Jefferson, who is on the cusp of eclipsing the 6,000 receiving yards in his career. He recorded at least 1,000 yards in each of his four seasons, and only an injury last season could slow him down. Now healthy, he will be supported by wingman Jordan Addison. The problem: The sophomore is dealing with his second ankle injury within a month.
Vikings Strengthen WR Depth by Re-Signing Promising Rookie
A sprained ankle suffered in Sunday’s win over the New York Giants could be the reason why he can’t suit up in the Week 2 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The dynamic second-year player received some optimistic words from his head coach in Monday’s presser, but the sprain could keep him out for a game or two.
On Tuesday, the Vikings re-signed rookie wideout Jeshaun Jones to the practice squad after two weeks away from the team. He was released among the final roster cuts but returns, perhaps to combat an Addison absence.
The franchise tweeted on Tuesday afternoon: “The Vikings have signed WR Jeshaun Jones to the practice squad and released CB Jaylin Williams from the practice squad.”
