Addison (ankle) wasn't spotted on the field at Thursday's practice, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Addison set to miss a second consecutive practice, he'll likely need to get back on the field Friday as at least a limited participant to have a realistic chance at playing in Sunday's game against the 49ers. Should Addison's right ankle injury keep him inactive Sunday, Jalen Nailor and Brandon Powell would likely be featured more prominently in three-receiver sets alongside No. 1 option Justin Jefferson.

Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Addison (ankle) won't take part in Wednesday's practice, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Instead, Addison will focus on treatment of his right ankle to begin Week 2 prep after injuring it during this past Sunday's win at the Giants. O'Connell told Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press on Monday that he was "hopeful" Addison will be able to play Sunday against the 49ers, but the receiver may have to mix into drills Thursday and/or Friday in order for the Vikings to feel comfortable making him active. Brandon Powell and Jalen Nailor are next up for reps at wide receiver behind top option Justin Jefferson in Minnesota's offense.

Coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday he's "hopeful" that Addison (ankle) will be available versus the 49ers in Week 2, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Connell said that Addison, who was forced out of Sunday's win over the Giants in the third quarter, is dealing with "significant soreness" in his right ankle. Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports that O'Connell also said the Vikings will be "smart" with Addison and that the second-year wideout's availability will depend on how he responds to treatment. If Addison does have to miss any time, an increased role behind Justin Jefferson could fall to Jalen Nailor, who scored a 21-yard touchdown on his only reception Week 1.

Addison will undergo tests on his injured right ankle Monday, but the issue isn't thought to be a serious one, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Addison tended to a left high-ankle sprain last month that kept him off the practice field until Sept. 2, and he eventually avoided a designation for the Vikings' Week 1 road matchup with the Giants. However, he exited Sunday's eventual win in the third quarter and didn't return due to an injury to his other ankle. If Rapoport's report proves to be true, Addison may miss little, if any, time, but the aforementioned testing ultimately will determine if an absence is possible.

Coach Kevin O'Connell relayed after Sunday's win over the Giants that Addison injured his right ankle in Week 1, rather than his left one, which he hurt last month, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Seifert, Addison will be evaluated again once the team returns to Minnesota. Meanwhile, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune adds that O'Connell said that he hoped the wideout's current ankle issue is a short-term situation. Either way, Addison's status is worth tracking ahead of next Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Addison won't return to Sunday's game at the Giants due to an ankle injury, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Addison went to the locker room in the third quarter with members of the Vikings' training staff and was ruled out shortly thereafter. He'll thus end Week 1 with three catches (on four targets) for 35 yards. Further clarity on Addison's status may be relayed by coach Kevin O'Connell after Sunday's contest.

Addison (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Addison and fellow wideout Jalen Nailor (ankle) both upgraded to full practice participation Friday after being limited the previous two days. The Vikings enter Week 1 with their full complement of wide receivers, although it is possible Addison plays a few less snaps than usual or isn't at his best, considering he suffered a high-ankle sprain Aug. 14 and just returned to practice this Monday.

Addison (ankle) is practicing Friday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Addison said Thursday that he'll play in Sunday's game against the Giants and anticipates being at "100 percent" strength. He was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday, after suffering a high-ankle sprain Aug. 14 and missing more than two weeks of practice.

Addison (ankle) says he will play Sunday at the Giants even though he was limited in practice Thursday. "Physically, I'm feeling great," Addison told the Minneapolis Star Tribune. "I'm going to be 100% on Sunday and y'all are going to see."
EDGE Analysis
Addison revealed he suffered a high ankle sprain in practice Aug. 14, which is a little worrisome since the injury may have been worse than first thought. However, head coach Kevin O'Connell also said he was confident Addison will play. Addison will need to make it through another practice Friday before fantasy managers can feel confident he'll get a full workload Sunday.

Addison (ankle) was limited at practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to Thursday's session, Addison seemed to be taking part in a good portion of drills, per Alec Lewis of The Athletic, but his eventual listing on the Vikings' second Week 1 injury report ultimately remained the same as it did Wednesday. Addison thus has just Friday's practice to prove his health before the team potentially tags him with a designation for Sunday's game at the Giants. The second-year wide receiver has been tending to a sprained ankle since sustaining the injury during an Aug. 14 practice.
