While the San Francisco 49ers are dealing with an injury to one of their key playmakers, so is their next opponent, the Minnesota Vikings.
During the Vikings win in Week 1 against the New York Giants, Jordan Addison exited the game exited Sunday’s game in the third quarter due to an ankle injury.
For Week 2, the sophomore pass catcher’s status could be in jeopardy. Addison missed practice on Wednesday due to the ankle injury he picked up in Week 1.

Jordan Addison will not be at Vikings practice this afternoon, Kevin O'Connell said. He's dealing with another ankle injury from Sunday's third quarter. Returned in that game from an Aug. 14 high ankle sprain.

Addison torched the 49ers last season, leading the Vikings to an upset victory in Week 7 on Sunday Night Football with 123 yards and two touchdown receptions.
If Addison is ruled out Brandon Powell, Jalen Nailor and Trent Sherfield could be in line for bigger roles in Kevin O’Connell’s passing attack.
Although Addison could be sidelined on Sunday, Nick Sorensen and the 49ers defense will still have to find a way to slow down Justin Jefferson and his new quarterback Sam Darnold.
