BEREA, Ohio — The Vikings dodged a second significant injury loss in two days. Minnesota No. 2 wide receiver Jordan Addison is expected to miss some time with a left ankle injury sustained on Wednesday — just hours after Vikings rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy was ruled out for the season following knee surgery. While it's not known how long Addison will be out, Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said Thursday that the 22-year-old, who had 70 catches and 10 touchdowns last season as a rookie, isn't seriously hurt. Star Justin Jefferson said he thinks Addison will be out "weeks" and he's hoping he's back for the Sept. 8 season opener.
