According to the most recent information on Jordan Addison’s injuries, the gifted rookie wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings will suit up against the Green Bay Packers in Week 17. For rookie quarterback Jaren Hall, who will make his second start of the year on Sunday Night Football, that is welcome news.
With 63 catches for 826 yards this season, Addison, who emerged in Justin Jefferson’s absence, is the Vikings’ second-best pass-catcher after TJ Hockenson. With nine receiving touchdowns, he leads the league in this category.
In the 2023 NFL Draft, Hall, a rookie from BYU who is 25 years old, was selected in the fifth round. In Week 9, he got the start against the Atlanta Falcons, but he was out with an injury after just six passes to Josh Dobbs. Before that, his only action came when Kirk Cousins got hurt in Week 8.
In his debut season, Hall’s stat line is 8-of-10 for 101 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero interceptions.
According to this update on Jordan Addison’s injury, Jaren Hall will start both Addison and Justin Jefferson against the Packers in Week 17.
Given that both the Vikings and the Packers are 7-8 and desperately hoping to make the playoffs, this game is crucial for the NFC North. In fact, the team that loses this matchup will probably be declared ineligible for the playoffs. Conversely, a victory increases the Vikings’ chances of making the playoffs from 28% to 48%, while the Packers’ chances increase from 26% to 55%.
