Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is not expected to miss much time after jamming his thumb. The early update from coach Kevin O'Connell indicated the issue should keep Addison out of practice only briefly.
Addison's status drew attention because he is an important part of the Vikings' receiving group. While he was absent from practice, the initial outlook appeared encouraging rather than signaling a long-term concern.
O'Connell was not originally scheduled to speak with reporters Wednesday, but the message around Addison's injury was that the team does not expect an extended absence. That suggests the Vikings are treating the thumb issue as something manageable as camp work continues.
For now, the main takeaway is that Addison's jammed thumb does not appear likely to become a major setback. Barring any change in his condition, the Vikings seem to expect him back on the field before long.
