After nearly six weeks of practice and three preseason games, the Vikings are ready to open the 2024 season. As 1.5-point favorites, the Vikings play at the New York Giants on Sunday at noon.

On the injury front, head coach Kevin O’Connell noted Wednesday that WR Jordan Addison (ankle) is progressing and he’s hopeful he’ll be able to fully participate in practice later in the week. In other words, expect him to play Sunday.

WR Jalen Nailor (ankle) is a bit behind Addison, according to O’Connell. But don’t be surprised if he plays Sunday, too.

LB Blake Cashman (finger) is ready to go.
