Addison (ankle) is listed as active Sunday versus the Packers, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Addison departed the Vikings' Week 16 loss to the Lions with a sprained ankle and wasn't able to return to action. He then opened Week 17 prep with no activity before capping it with back-to-back limited sessions and entering the weekend with a questionable designation. Early Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that Addison was in line to play Sunday, and Minnesota has confirmed as much by not including him among its inactives. Addison thus will be taking on a Green Bay defense that has been torched by opposing wide receivers to the tune of a 43-632-5 line on 54 targets over the last three games.

Addison (ankle) remains listed as questionable but will be available to play Sunday against the Packers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though Rapoport previously reported that Addison was viewed as week-to-week after the wideout sustained an ankle sprain in the Vikings' 30-24 loss to the Lions last Sunday, the rookie ended up making swifter progress in his recovery than anticipated. After sitting out Wednesday's walk-through, Addison concluded Week 17 prep with a pair of limited practices to create more optimism that he would be available for Sunday. Addison has experienced no apparent setbacks coming out of Friday's practice, so he looks as though he'll be officially cleared to play upon the release of the Vikings' inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. While Justin Jefferson is locked in as the unquestioned No. 1 pass catcher for newly installed starting quarterback Jaren Hall, Addison and K.J. Osborn could both be in store for larger target shares than normal due to standout tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) being out for the season.

Addison (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
While unable to rejoin Sunday's loss to Detroit following his ankle injury in the second quarter, Addison returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant and now heads into the weekend looking truly questionable after another limited practice Friday. A game-time call would be tricky for a lot of fantasy managers, as the Vikings and Packers are the final matchup of the week with kickoff scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET on Sunday. If Addison doesn't play, Brandon Powell likely will fill in alongside Justin Jefferson and K.J. Osborn in three-wide formations. Meanwhile, rookie QB Jaren Hall will make his second career start, replacing Nick Mullens after the veteran's two starts produced a lot of yards and a lot of turnovers.

Addison (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
After being held out of Wednesday's walkthrough, Addison was able to handle some on-field work one day later as he looks to miss no game action due to the ankle sprain that he suffered this past Sunday against the Lions. Head coach Kevin O'Connell called Addison "day-to-day" on Tuesday, per Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com, but it remains to be seen if the rookie first-round pick will sidestep a designation ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Packers. Friday's injury report will unveil whether or not that's the case for Addison.

Addison (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate.
EDGE Analysis
The Vikings only held a walkthrough instead of an actual practice to begin Week 17 prep, but Addison didn't mix into any on-field work as he tends to the ankle sprain that he suffered during this past Sunday's loss to the Lions. On Tuesday, coach Kevin O'Connell called Addison "day-to-day," per Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com, so the rookie wide receiver seemingly has a chance to suit up Sunday against the Packers. Addison's activity level, if any, Thursday and Friday could forecast his odds to do so this weekend.

Head coach Kevin O'Connell classified Addison (ankle) as day-to-day Tuesday and wasn't willing to rule the receiver out for Sunday's game against the Packers, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Connell didn't go into many details regarding the severity of the ankle sprain that forced Addison out of this past Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Lions, but the "day-to-day" label paints a rosier picture of the wideout's health after Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Monday that he was being considered week-to-week. The Vikings will likely wait and see what Addison is able to do during the week of practice before potentially giving him a designation for the Week 17 contest following Friday's session. O'Connell also announced Tuesday that star tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) will miss the rest of the season, so if he's able to overcome his own injury, Addison could be in store for a larger target share behind top pass catcher Justin Jefferson over the final two games of the campaign.

Addison is considered week-to-week due to the ankle sprain he sustained during Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Rapoport, added context regarding Addison's status should arrive once the wideout undergoes further tests Monday. Prior to his exit from Sunday's contest, the wideout played 21 of 55 snaps on offense, catching one of his four targets for two yards. If Addison is forced to miss this weekend's contest against the Packers, both K.J. Osborn and Brandon Powell would be in store for expanded reps behind No. 1 wideout Justin Jefferson.

Addison (ankle) won't return to Sunday's game against the Lions, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
He'll remained sidelined for the entire second half of the Week 16 contest after sustaining the ankle injury during the return of a Lions interception with just under three minutes remaining in the second quarter. Addison finishes the day with one catch for two yards on three targets.

Addison exited Sunday's game against the Lions due to an ankle injury, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Addison visited the sideline tent after quarterback Nick Mullens' second interception of the game, when the rookie was the intended receiver. If Addison is unable to return, he'll finish Week 16 with one catch (on three targets) for two yards. K.J. Osborn and Brandon Powell are poised for more work alongside Justin Jefferson during Addison's absence.

Addison caught six passes for 111 yards and two touchdowns on six targets in the 27-24 overtime loss to the Bengals on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
It was an improbable resurgence from Addison, as the rookie seemed likely to fall to the margins, as Justin Jefferson and T.J. Hockenson were expected to claim the majority of Vikings' targets. Addison's talent was obvious early in his rookie year, but he had predictably struggled somewhat after the season-ending injury to Kirk Cousins. This game from Addison raises the hope that he might get on a roll again despite Cousins' absence. The Week 16 matchup with Detroit is likely a favorable one for Addison, who will look to score his 10th touchdown before his excellent rookie season concludes.
