Addison was a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
The Vikings are already down top wide receiver Justin Jefferson due to a hamstring injury that isn't believed to be season-ending. However, Jefferson's placement on injured reserve Wednesday opens the door for Addison to step into a major role in the offense. Those plans have taken a slight hit with Addison's appearance on the first injury report of Week 6, but he at least has two more chances to prove his health before Minnesota potentially clears him ahead of Sunday's game in Chicago. Through five games working behind Jefferson and typically K.J. Osborn this season, Addison still put up a 19-249-3 receiving line on 29 targets.
