Rookie quarterback Jaren Hall is expected to have his full compliment of wide wide receivers when he makes his second career start for the Vikings on Sunday night against the Packers.
Jordan Addison, who suffered an ankle injury last week in Minnesota’s loss to Detroit, enters the game with a questionable tag though NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport is reporting that the rookie receiver will play.
Addison is third among rookies with 826 receiving yards and leads all rookies with nine touchdown receptions. His 63 catches ranks fifth among rookies.
Green Bay will be without starting cornerbacks Jaire Alexander (suspension) and Eric Stokes (hamstring), which could open the door for Hall to have a big game throwing to Justin Jefferson, Addison and K.J. Osborn.
The only weapon Hall won’t have at his disposal is tight end T.J. Hockenson, who suffered a season-ending knee injury last week against the Lions. His absence takes 95 catches and 960 yards out of the lineup and puts pressure on Johnny Mundt and Josh Oliver to fill the void.
The Vikings and Packers meet at 7:20 p.m. on Sunday Night Football.
