Final Vikings injury report for Week 4 features significant Jordan Addison news
By Adam Patrick
On Friday, the final Minnesota Vikings injury report was released, and for the first time since Week 1, Jordan Addison was not listed. Addison returned to practice this week after missing Minnesota's previous two games with an ankle injury, and he's set to return on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers after the Vikings left him completely off of their final injury report for the contest.
Addison's return should help take some of the attention off of Minnesota star receiver Justin Jefferson this weekend, and that's terrible news for the Packers defense.
Jefferson is already off to a solid start this season, with 14 catches for 273 yards and three touchdowns. He's currently averaging 19.5 yards per reception, which is the highest average of his NFL career, and it also ranks sixth in the league heading into Week 4.
Final Minnesota Vikings Injury Report for Week 4 against the Green Bay Packers
Final Vikings Injury Report for Week 4
Player | Injury | Week 4 Status |
|---|---|---|
Ivan Pace Jr. - LB | Ankle | OUT |
Final Packers Injury Report for Week 4
Player | Injury | Week 4 Status |
|---|---|---|
Jordan Morgan - OL | Shoulder | OUT |
Carrington Valentine - CB | Ankle | Doubtful |
Jaire Alexander - CB | Quad/Groin | Questionable |
Jordan Love - QB | Knee | Questionable |
In addition to Addison returning this week, the Vikings will also have left tackle Christian Darrisaw, center Garrett Bradbury, and rookie edge rusher Dallas Turner on the field in Green Bay on Sunday.
All three of these players appeared on at least one of Minnesota's first two injury reports of the week on Wednesday and Thursday, but none of them appeared on the team's final Week 4 injury report. All are good to go for Sunday, which is even more positive news for the Vikings.
Minnesota linebacker Ivan Pace Jr. is the only player listed on the team's final injury report of the week, and unfortunately, he's going to be out of action for the second straight game because of an ankle injury.
As for Green Bay, quarterback Jordan Love playing for the first time since Week 1 is still uncertain. The Packers have listed him questionable for Sunday against the Vikings, and if he doesn't suit up, then Green Bay will roll with Malik Willis under center for the third week in a row.
