The one preseason move every Minnesota Vikings fan wanted has suddenly morphed into a puzzling situation.
Minnesota entered Sunday morning’s game against the Cleveland Browns in London thin at wide receiver; we just didn’t know it until after kickoff.
Jordan Addison mysteriously never saw an offensive snap in the game until the second quarter, and head coach Kevin O’Connell revealed after the game that Addison was benched for missing a team walkthrough earlier in the week.
The Vikings opened the game with Justin Jefferson and Jalen Nailor in two-wide sets, and wound up getting their only points of the opening quarter on a Cam Akers halfback pass to tight end Josh Oliver.
