Jordan Addison - Won't play this week Addison (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Impact With Addison out, Brandon Powell and Jalen Nailor are candidates to see added work behind Justin Jefferson in Week 2. Addison's next chance to play will arrive Sept. 22 against the Texans.
SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Addison - Not looking good for Week 2 Addison (ankle) isn't practicing Friday and thus seems unlikely to play Sunday against the 49ers, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Impact Addison sprained his left ankle in August but made it back for Week 1, only to sprain his right ankle in a win over the Giants. He hasn't practiced at all this week, which likely leaves Jalen Nailor and Brandon Powell to join Justin Jefferson in three-wide formations come Sunday.

Darnold's home debut with Vikings comes vs. 49ers team he was enlightened with last year as a backup

Sam Darnold had a burden-free season with the San Francisco 49ers last year as the backup to Brock Purdy while continuing to learn the league, his position and himself
SEPTEMBER 12 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Andrew Van Ginkel - Upgraded to limited Thursday Van Ginkel (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice session.
Impact Van Ginkel did not participate in Wednesday's practice, but he was able to see the field in a restricted capacity Thursday. His participation in Friday's practice will give a better sense on his availability for the Vikings' Week 2 showdown against the 49ers on Sunday. Van Ginkel accrued four tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, and returned an interception for a touchdown in the Vikings' Week 1 victory over the Giants.
SEPTEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Harrison Smith - Doesn't practice Thursday Smith did not practice in Thursday's practice due to a hip injury.
Impact Smith practiced without restrictions Wednesday, but the 2012 first-round pick is nursing a groin injury that kept him off the field Thursday. His status for Week 2 against the 49ers should be more clear once Friday's injury report is released. Smith registered seven tackles (three solo) and one interception in the Vikings' Week 1 win over the Giants.
