Following the incident, the Vikings made a statement, which was relayed by Ian Rapoport:
“We have been informed of the traffic incident involving Jordan Addison last night and are currently collecting more information.”
The Vikings’ training camp starts on July 25th, with rookies arriving two days prior. It’s uncertain how this incident might affect Addison’s involvement in the camp. His participation during OTAs was limited due to an unspecified injury, and it’s yet to be determined if this will impact his readiness for training camp. The Vikings will kick off their season at home, facing off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
