Addison brought in four of six targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 20-17 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie first-round pick managed to make some noise right from the onset of his pro career, hauling in a 39-yard scoring pass early in the second quarter for Minnesota's first points of the season. Addison finished second on the Vikings in receiving yardage behind his prolific fellow starting wideout Justin Jefferson while checking in third in targets behind him and T.J. Hockenson. Addison will aim to build on a strong debut during a tough Week 2 road matchup against the Eagles on Thursday night and attempt to capitalize on the defensive attention sure to come the way of his aforementioned pair of fellow pass catchers.

Head coach Kevin O'Connell said Wednesday that Addison cleared the concussion protocol, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

In his return to team drills at Wednesday's joint practice with the Cardinals, Addison mixed in with the Vikings' No. 1 offense in three-receiver sets and even made a nice touchdown catch in traffic, per Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. After spending exactly one week in the concussion protocol, Addison appears to be good to go moving forward, but it's unclear if he'll see action in Minnesota's preseason finale Saturday against Arizona.

Addison (concussion) is at Monday's practice in a no-contact jersey, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's a step forward after coach Kevin O'Connell revealed last Wednesday that Addison had entered concussion protocol. The rookie is still in the protocol but at least has made enough progress to participate in a light practice. Addison caught one pass for 22 yards in Minnesota's preseason opener, and regardless of whether or not that ends up being his final appearance in August, he's well on his way to playing Week 1 at Tampa Bay (Sept. 10).

Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Wednesday that Addison is in the concussion protocol, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Addison is experiencing some minor concussion symptoms following a fall during a two-minute drill earlier this week and will be sidelined until at least Monday. As a result, he looks set to miss Saturday's preseason contest against the Titans, giving him just one more chance to see game action before the Vikings' Sept. 10 season opener versus the Buccaneers. In the meantime, K.J. Osborn and Jalen Reagor should get extra first-team reps during Addison's absence.

Addison caught one of three targets for 22 yards in Thursday's 24-13 preseason loss to the Seahawks.

EDGE Analysis

Addison nearly secured a nice gain with a toe drag along the sideline in the first quarter, but the play was ruled out of bounds. His first NFL catch came on the first play of the second quarter and resulted in a 22-yard gain. Despite this uninspiring stat line in his NFL debut, the 2023 first-round pick projects to play a prominent role in his rookie season. After seeing limited action Thursday, Addison may get more usage in Minnesota's second preseason game, Aug. 19 against Tennessee.

Addison will play in Thursday's preseason contest at Seattle, head coach Kevin O'Connell told the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

EDGE Analysis

It's not clear how many snaps he'll play, but the 2023 first-rounder will get his first game action as a professional. K.J. Osborn is listed as the No. 2 wide receiver ahead of Addison on Minnesota's first unofficial depth chart of the preseason. However, Addison has looked sharp in camp so far with good chemistry with quarterback Kirk Cousins, so he's still the favorite to emerge as the team's No. 2 wide receiver with a significant role.

K.J. Osborn is listed as the No. 2 wide receiver ahead of Addison on Minnesota's first unofficial depth chart of the preseason. Osborn may get more snaps this season as the team's "F" receiver as he'll frequently be used as a blocker, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Osborn may also be listed ahead of Addison to begin the preseason as the team may give deference to the veteran. It's also possible Osborn plays more snaps on offense this year, but Addison gets more targets. Addison has looked sharp in camp so far with good chemistry with quarterback Kirk Cousins, so we wouldn't be too worried about this early preseason listing. Still, Addison's ability to be used in run blocking could be something to watch to ensure he gets more playing time.

Addison was a full practice participant Wednesday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

His first few months as a pro have been more eventful than he'd like, with Addison missing May/June practices due to an undisclosed injury and then in July receiving a citation for driving 140 miles per hour (in a 55 mph zone). He's apparently moved past the injury, and history suggests the NFL is unlikely to suspend him for a speeding violation that doesn't involve alcohol or other substances (especially if he can prove his reported claim that he was driving so fast because his dog had a health emergency). Early reports out of Minnesota camp have Jalen Nailor taking a lot of the first-team reps alongside Justin Jefferson and K.J. Osborn in three-wide sets, but Addison has plenty of time before Week 1 to push ahead of Nailor (and possibly Osborn as well).

Addison (undisclosed) was cited Thursday for driving 140 miles per hour in a 55 mph zone, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Speeding tickets don't usually lead to league discipline, but this one will get the NFL's attention and might eventually lead to a fine and/or a short suspension. The 23rd overall pick in this year's draft was cited around 3:00 a.m. CT on Thursday for speeding and reckless driving, three days before rookies report to Vikings training camp. Addison isn't off to the best start in the NFL, first missing spring practices with an undisclosed injury and now dealing with a legal problem.

Coach Kevin O'Connell said Tuesday that Addison (undisclosed) is expected to be healthy by the time training camp starts in late July, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Since getting banged-up during rookie minicamp in early May, Addison has been held out of OTAs and now the start of mandatory minicamp. The precautionary measure is understandable with the long term in mind, and when he's healthy, the 5-foot-11, 175-pound Addison is slated to serve as a complement to top wide receiver Justin Jefferson in the Vikings' passing game.
