Minneapolis St. Paul, MN, October 10, 2026 — The Minnesota Vikings are preparing to face the New Orleans Saints with significant uncertainty surrounding the availability of several key offensive players. The team announced updated injury statuses on Thursday, listing two prominent wide receivers as questionable and a crucial offensive lineman as out for the upcoming contest.
Wide receiver Justin Jefferson, a focal point of the Vikings’ passing attack, has been tagged as questionable due to an ankle injury. Jefferson’s status will be closely monitored as the week progresses.
Alongside Jefferson, fellow wide receiver Jordan Addison is also listed as questionable. Addison is dealing with a hamstring issue, which could impact the team’s receiving depth if he is unable to play.
Adding to the offensive concerns, starting left tackle Christian Darrisaw has been ruled out for the game against the Saints. Darrisaw’s absence represents a significant blow to the offensive line, potentially affecting pass protection and run blocking schemes.
The full extent of these injuries and their impact on the Vikings’ performance against New Orleans remains to be seen. Further updates on the players’ conditions are expected closer to game day.
