Jordan Addison, Minnesota’s wide receiver, was back at full participation in practice Thursday, October 22, shaking off that hamstring issue.

Finally Back on the Field

This is huge news for Addison, who’d been sidelined missing the Week 5 contest. Coming out of their bye week, it looks like he is fully poised for action. You’d think that’s all good, right? Get your guys back.

But It’s Not All Sunshine for Addison

Hold up. Here’s the kicker, and honestly, it’s a bit of a head-scratcher. Outside of that Week 3 game where Justin Jefferson had to leave early, Addison has been pretty quiet this season. Like, *really* quiet. The big issue? It’s not just him. The Minnesota passing attack, frankly, doesn’t look like it can even support *two* quality receivers. That’s rough, man. What does that mean for Addison? He’s ending up as more of a WR4 in that offense. Seriously, a WR4.

So while it’s good to see Addison fully practicing again, the real question isn’t if he’s healthy. It’s whether this Minnesota offense can actually make him a factor. They’ve gotta figure out how to get him the ball, or this “return to action” might not mean much at all.
