Vikings are listing both WRs Jordan Addison (hamsrtring) and Justin Jefferson (ankle), as questionable for Sunday’s game Via @AdamSchefter on X

What happened: Justin Jefferson missed Minnesota's previous game with an ankle injury, and Jordan Addison continues to manage a hamstring issue. The team will evaluate both starting wide receivers before Sunday's kickoff against the New Orleans Saints.

Why it matters: The passing attack relies heavily on the pair, but the coaching staff may exercise caution ahead of an upcoming Week 6 bye. Minnesota recently added Odell Beckham Jr. to the practice squad for veteran depth.

By the numbers: The Vikings lead the NFC North with an undefeated 4-0 record. The Saints sit at 1-3 and rank third in the NFC South.

What to watch: Final inactive designations will be released 90 minutes before kickoff.
