Jordan Addison injury vs. Titans: Latest news on Vikings WR

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison left Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans in the fourth quarter with cramping issues.

The Minnesota Vikings have had somewhat of a bounce-back game on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. Quarterback Sam Darnold has made some big plays with his arm and legs, making several key scrambles to extend plays and keep the Vikings’ offense moving.

That offense has been running more smoothly than we’ve seen in weeks, and one of the key contributors to that has been wide receiver Jordan Addison. Unfortunately for the Vikings, Addison left the game in the fourth quarter with some cramping issues and will likely be out for the rest of the game.

Jordan Addison injury update

It’s unfortunate for the Vikings’ offense to have to operate without one of their key playmakers for the rest of the fourth quarter. According to the CBS broadcast crew, Addison is officially designated as questionable to return with cramps.

How long will Addison be out?

While Addison is being called questionable to return to the game, the Vikings are up 10 with less than 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter. The Vikings’ defense has held up well, and gave the ball back to the offense. Minnesota will likely play it safe with Addison and keep him on the sidelines for the rest of the game.

On the positive side, cramps are a temporary issue, and Addison should be fine for next week’s game against the Chicago Bears.

Vikings wide receiver depth chart

With Addison on the sidelines, the Vikings will likely look more toward Jalen Nailor and Brandon Powell. Both receivers have already had their name called several times in the fourth quarter. Nailor just missed a touchdown catch, while Powell made a nice catch over the middle that was initially called incomplete but overturned after a challenge by head coach Kevin O’Connell.

Justin Jefferson passes Randy Moss in Vikings record books in Week 11

On Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson was able to pass Randy Moss in the team’s record books.

On Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson was able to pass Randy Moss in the team’s record books. He did so on a 31-yard reception in the first half on a scoring drive for the team.

Justin Jefferson passed Randy Moss, who had 6,743 receiving yards in his first five seasons with the team, for the most receiving yards by a player in Vikings history.

Jefferson has worked his way up the Vikings’ all-time receiving yard ranks as well this season. He recently passed Adam Thielen and now has his eyes on Anthony Carter, who is ahead of him.

For now, though, his prize will have to be finally passing Randy Moss in a Vikings statistical category. If he keeps things up, he should pass all-time in franchise receiving yards within the next two to three years.

Titans sign Cory Levin, elevate two from practice squad for Week 11

The Tennessee Titans signed Cory Levin and elevated two players from the practice squad ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Vikings.

The Tennessee Titans will take on the Minnesota Vikings in Week 11 action on Sunday and dipped into their practice squad for reinforcements on Saturday.

#Titans signed Corey Levin to the Active Roster from Practice Squad and used the standard elevation from Practice Squad for:

T Isaiah Prince
DB Daryl Worley

— TURRON DAVENPORT (@TDavenport_NFL) November 16, 2024

First they signed offensive lineman Corey Levin from the practice squad to the active roster to fill the vacancy left when safety Mike Edwards was waived. The veteran offensive lineman has been elevated from the unit twice and will add some experienced depth on the interior in the wake of the season ending injury to center Lloyd Cushenberry.

The team also used standard elevations to make tackle Isaiah Prince and defensive back Daryl Worley available this week. Worley will add some depth to both the secondary and special teams with L’Jarius Sneed out and Justin Hardee questionable, and Prince will provide an experienced tackle behind Nicholas Petit-Frere with Leroy Watson out.

This is the second elevation for Worley and the first for Prince in 2024. The Titans can only elevate Worley one more time before they would need to sign him to the active roster.

The Titans and Vikings will take the field Sunday at Nissan Stadium in Nashville.

Vikings receive great news on final injury report before Week 11

On Friday, ahead of Week 11, the Vikings received their healthiest injury report of the season.

The Minnesota Vikings have been battling injuries every week of the season on both sides of the ball. The team has gained back some players and then lost some other key ones as a form of trade on injury reports.

On Friday, ahead of Week 11, the Vikings received their healthiest injury report of the season.

The Vikings have just one player on the injury report: rookie edge rusher Gabriel Murphy, who is recovering from a knee injury this past offseason. He is still within his 21-day open practice window, so he wasn’t expected to be cleared this quickly.

The best part of the injury report was the removal of Sam Darnold (shoulder), Andrew Van Ginkel (hip), Blake Cashman (elbow), and Aaron Jones (Ribs). All those key starters had lingering injuries, and their removal in the final report is a major win before Week 11 against the Titans.

They now will have a roster that is 7-2 and at full strength against a Titans roster that is 2-7.

Ja’Marr Chase shares fun detail about friendship with Justin Jefferson

As a result, the two All-Pro wide receivers were and remain best friends, but their relationship In season is rather unique.

Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson were teammates together at LSU and were a part of one of if not the best, seasons in college football history. Several offensive records were broken, and both of them played a major role in that being the reason why.

As a result, the two All-Pro wide receivers were and remain best friends, but their relationship In season is rather unique.

On Thursday, Chase spoke to the media and was asked about why he and Jefferson don’t talk to each other during the season. His response was rather comical saying “He’s just too big-time for me, man. He just don’t respond to me, bro.”

Of course, he said this with a laugh and a big smile, but it speaks to how seriously they take their craft. Jefferson and Chase are both the best in the NFL at their positions for a reason. Sacrifices have to be made, and sometimes, friendships are on hold.

One can assume once their seasons are over, they become best friends all over again.

ESPN sees Sam Darnold as a highly coveted free agent in 2025

When ESPN wrote about the upcoming free agent class, they ranked the players, and Sam Darnold came in rather high compared to others.

The Minnesota Vikings have benefited from Sam Darnold’s play this year. He is set to be a free agent since he signed a one-year deal with the team this offseason.

When ESPN wrote about the upcoming free agent class, they ranked the players, and Sam Darnold came in rather high compared to others.

Matt Bowen wrote that Darnold should be a rather popular quarterback option for teams. He writes, “With his arm strength and mobility, Darnold will have options on the market if he can produce over the second half of the season.” He has shown his year he can be more than a bridge quarterback; the money he earns this Spring could also reflect that.

However, on the note of being a bridge, Jeremy Fowler writes that “Darnold and Minnesota are 7-2 together, so entertaining a bridge deal while the team continues to develop McCarthy behind the scenes shouldn’t be completely off the table.”

If Darnold were to return, McCarthy and his knee would be in a completely different situation to justify it.
