The Story in 60 Seconds

The Minnesota Vikings listed wide receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison as questionable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. Head coach Kevin O'Connell announced Friday that their availability, along with that of right tackle Brian O'Neill, will be decided on Sunday morning. None of the three players participated fully in practice during the week as Jefferson manages an ankle injury and Addison recovers from a hamstring issue.

Minnesota will decide Saturday whether to elevate newly signed receiver Odell Beckham Jr. from the practice squad. Offensive line injuries have already ruled out left tackle Christian Darrisaw due to concussion protocol and left guard Donovan Jackson for the season, with Joe Huber and Ryan Van Demark stepping in to start.
