Felton (arm) did not play in Friday's preseason game against the Titans, Emily Leiker of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Felton exited practice Wednesday with what looked to be a minor arm injury. Coach Kevin O'Connell noted that Felton was still sore Friday but confirmed that the injury isn't serious. Felton's health ahead of a Week 1 matchup against the Bears takes on added importance given the suspension of Jordan Addison and the uncertain status of Jalen Nailor (hand).

Felton exited a camp-closing scrimmage early on Wednesday with what appeared to be a hand or arm injury, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Felton's availability for Saturday's preseason game isn't clear. It doesn't sound like a serious injury, but watch his status next week. Felton is battling with Lucky Jackson for the No. 4 spot on the wideout depth chart -- a role that could end up being significant early in the season with Jordan Addison set to miss the first three games due to a suspension.

Felton caught both his targets for 32 yards in Saturday's 20-12 preseason loss to the Patriots. He added 21 yards on one kickoff return.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie third-round pick got the start with Justin Jefferson (hamstring), Jordan Addison (suspension) and Jalen Nailor (hand) all on the sidelines, but Felton didn't flash until No. 3 QB Brett Rypien entered the game. The duo connected for gains of 20 and 12 yards on the Vikings' final possession of the first half, setting up a Will Reichard field goal. Felton is battling with Lucky Jackson for the No. 4 spot on the wideout depth chart -- a role that could end up being significant early in the season with Addison set to miss the first three games -- and he may have gained an edge in that competition after Jackson caught only one of his five targets Saturday in a shaky performance. However, Felton did fumble on a kickoff return, which could hurt his chances to win a return job.

Felton had two receptions for 14 yards on two targets in Saturday's preseason win over Houston. He also forced a fumble in punt coverage, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Felton worked as the fourth receiver and could begin the season in that role with Jordan Addison suspended for the first three regular season games. He also lined up as a starting kick returner along with Ty Chandler.

Felton and Lucky Jackson are the leading candidates to work as the No. 3 receiver to begin the season with Jordan Addison suspended the first three games for violating the league's Substances of Abuse Policy, the The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Felton has been getting some work with the first-team offense in camp with Justin Jefferson sidelined with a hamstring injury. Jalen Nailor will move up to the No. 2 receiver role while Addison is out, but the No. 3 spot is still unsettled. Jackson is a surprising co-leader for the role since he spent all but one game on the practice squad last year. Felton as a 2025 third-round draft pick would appear to have more upside in the role, but could be eased into action as a rookie.
