Vikings receiver Jordan Addison carted off field at joint practice with Browns #vikings #nflshorts

As if Wednesday’s news of rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy’s season-ending knee injury wasn’t bad enough, the Vikings lost No. 2 receiver Jordan Addison to a left ankle injury shortly after the start of a joint practice with the Browns.

“I don’t believe he’ll practice [Thursday],” Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell said after practice and before talking to his training staff. “We’re going to get [an MRI] but I think he’s going to be all right.”

Addison was seen on crutches at the team hotel later in the day. His preseason is likely finished.

The second-year receiver was being tightly covered near the sideline when an errant throw by Sam Darnold fell incomplete. Addison stumbled, went to the ground, got back up and tried to walk but sat down until a cart was brought onto the field to take him away.
