Training camp at the Vikings' Eagan facility has been marred by receiver injuries and availability problems. Rookie Tai Felton left practice with a left-hand injury and did not return, and veteran Jordan Addison departed holding his arm; Felton had a wrap on his hand after practice. Justin Jefferson missed 24 days with a strained hamstring, and Jalen Nailor has not practiced recently because of a hand issue. Addison faces a three-game suspension to start the season. The team will explore trade options and monitor the waiver wire as roster cuts approach. Cornerback Jeff Okudah also left practice with a possible foot injury. Crowds attended a joint practice to watch quarterback J.J. McCarthy.
Rookie Tai Felton appeared to injure his left hand during the full-pads practice, the Vikings' final work of training camp. Then, veteran Jordan Addison ran off the field holding his arm and was attended to by athletic trainers. Felton and Addison remained on the sideline but did not return to practice. Felton, whom the Vikings have penciled in as their Week 1 kickoff returner, had a wrap on his hand after practice.
The Vikings have had to piece together their receiver position this summer. Justin Jefferson missed 24 days because of a strained hamstring and No. 3 receiver Jalen Nailor (hand) hasn't practiced in a week. Addison, meanwhile, will serve a three-game suspension to start the season. The team will explore trade options in the coming days and monitor the waiver wire when roster cuts begin next week.
