  "account": "Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison will miss several training camp practices due to a thumb injury, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell. However, O'Connell reassured that the injury is not serious. Addison experienced the injury while participating in route running drills, stating that he had simply \"jammed it\" during practice. Following an examination, medical professionals determined that the injury was minor, with no significant damage found on imaging scans. O'Connell emphasized that Addison should recover within a few days, expressing no concerns about the athlete's well-being. Addison is in his fourth season with the Vikings, having returned after serving an NFL suspension for the 2025 season. During his brief return, the former first-round draft pick managed a career-low 42 receptions, totaling 610 yards and three touchdowns. The Vikings are set to kick off their 2026 regular-season campaign against the Green Bay Packers on September 13.",
