Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is not expected to be sidelined for long by his ankle injury, coach Kevin O’Connell announced Thursday.

“I don’t see him missing any extended time,” O’Connell said of Addison, who was carted off the field during Wednesday’s joint practice session with the host Cleveland Browns.

Addison’s injury came on the same day that the Vikings announced rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy underwent a full meniscus repair and will miss the entire 2024 NFL season.

Addison sustained his injury while leaping for a contested pass during 11-on-11 drills.

Addison, 22, made the NFL All-Rookie team in 2023 after hauling in 70 catches for 911 yards and 10 touchdowns in 17 games (14 starts). He was selected by the Vikings with the 23rd overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Southern California.
