The Minnesota Vikings are undefeated, coming off a bye week and trending in the right direction health-wise as they prepare to host a hapless Indianapolis Colts team in Week 7 at U.S. Bank Stadium.
Head coach Kevin O’Connell told reporters on Tuesday, October 20 that all four of the Vikings’ starting offensive players currently dealing with considerable injury concerns are likely to practice in some capacity on Wednesday.
“Jordan Mason, TJ Hockenson, Christian Darrisaw and Jordan Addison are all expected to return to practice tomorrow for the #Vikings, KOC mentioned via @KFAN1003,” the VikingzFanPage X account reported. “Bye week came at the right time.”
Addison, the team’s No. 2 wide receiver, has been dealing with a hamstring issue. Meanwhile Mason, the Vikings’ primary rusher from the running back position, is coming back off the injured reserve list (IR) due to a thumb fracture he sustained in Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers.
Both Darrisaw, the starting left tackle, and Hockenson, Minnesota’s No. 1 tight end, are returning from concussions. Darrisaw suffered his against the Miami Dolphins in Week 4 and a history with that specific injury. Hockenson went down with a concussion against the New Orleans Saints in Week 5 just ahead of the Vikings’ bye.
