Jordan Addison Reveals Bye Week Plans

The Minnesota Vikings wrapped up a second-straight week overseas with a win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. It wasn’t exactly pretty, but they got the job done and return to the states with a 3-2 record heading into their bye.

In Minnesota, that week off can always be a bit worrisome with players off doing their own thing. Jordan Addison was recently benched for a quarter due to his decisions in London. He hasn’t been known to always make the best choices, but it sounds as though he’ll be locked in during the bye week.

When Jordan Addison is focused on work and his craft, there are few across the league better than him. Good choices will ultimately lead him to a sizeable payday and Minnesota would love to grant him that. He said postgame he’ll be focused throughout the next week off.

It should be expected that McCarthy remains close to the TCO Performance Center during the bye week as he looks to work towards a clean bill of health. It is not so cut and dry that he returns to the field after the bye week at this point. However, Addison and McCarthy can continue to develop chemistry together.

On Sunday it was Addison working with Carson Wentz that ultimately brought the Vikings a victory. The wide receiver was targeted multiple times on the final drive, including a game-winning touchdown catch.

Through two games this season, Addison has nine catches on 14 targets. He has accumulated 155 yards and a touchdown. It’s possible that he records his first 1,000 yard season this year, and it would have been almost guaranteed had he not been suspended for the first three games of the season.

Moving forward, if Addison can stay locked into the goals he and the Minnesota Vikings have ahead of them, there’s a good chance he sets himself up for a nice 2025 and beyond. With time off granted to him, it’s a positive to hear he’ll be using it wisely. Now he just needs to follow through on that.
