The Minnesota Vikings have had an up-and-down relationship with the injury report this year, but in Week 4, things may finally be going their way.
Wide receiver Jordan Addison has missed out on all the fun the offense has been having since he left Week 1 with an ankle injury. Thankfully, he is projected to play on Sunday and make his return against the Packers for a pivotal division game. In Week 3, the team was missing Ivan Pace Jr. and Dallas Turner, and their absences were covered up well, but Brian Flores prefers them in the game rather than not.
With those notes aside, here is how the Vikings' injury report looks heading into Sunday against the Packers.
