What Vikings' Wide Receiver Room Looks Like to Start 2025 After Jordan Addison Suspension

In this story:
The Minnesota Vikings received some unfortunate roster news on Tuesday afternoon when the NFL announced that they've suspended wide receiver Jordan Addison for the first three games of the 2025 season for violating the league's Substance of Abuse policy. While the 23-year-old pass catcher is still permitted to participate in all training camp activities throughout the end of the summer, he's set to miss his team's first three games against the Chicago Bears, Atlanta Falcons, and Cincinnati Bengals to begin the regular season.
The Vikings' wide receiver room is one that's incredibly top-heavy, with two-time first-team All-Pro Justin Jefferson leading the charge, so they'll certainly miss Addison's production—especially as they look to settle second-year quarterback J.J. McCarthy into the starting role.
Here's a look at what their updated wide receiver room and depth chart following the news of Addison's suspension:
