Report on young Vikings wide receiver's status for Week 1 is encouraging

Jordan Addison's three-game suspension to kick off the 2025 NFL season puts the Minnesota Vikings in a tough situation. Although they should have star pass-catcher Justin Jefferson available for those games, the depth behind him is questionable.

The Vikings added some talent at wide receiver this offseason. They traded for Adam Thielen from the Carolina Panthers, went after Rondale Moore in free agency, and used a third-round pick on Maryland's Tai Felton at the 2025 NFL Draft.

A season-ending injury to Moore during the preseason puts Minnesota back in a tough situation. They will need each receiver to step up in his absence until Addison comes back in Week 4 against the Steelers in Ireland.
