Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison sustained an ankle injury in their Week 16 game against the Detroit Lions. Addison was ruled out for the remainder of the game following this injury​​.

The injury occurred during the return of a Nick Mullens interception, when Addison, who was the intended receiver, was inadvertently hit by his own teammate while trying to chase down Lions safety Kerby Joseph. After the collision, Addison quickly entered the medical tent​​.

Before the injury, Addison had a significant impact on the Vikings’ offense, registering 63 catches for 826 yards and nine touchdowns. He has been a crucial component of the Vikings receiving corps, especially alongside star wide receiver Justin Jefferson​​.

Losing both Addison and tight end T.J. Hockenson to injuries in the same game presented a substantial challenge for the Vikings. The team had to rely on players like K.J. Osborn, Josh Oliver, C.J. Ham, and Johnny Mundt to compensate for the loss of production​​.
