Jordan Addison Camp Update — August 31: The Receiver Room Settles at Six
2026 NFL Season · Monday, Aug 31
Jordan Addison made the initial fifty-three among six wide receivers, alongside Tai Felton, Myles Price and undrafted Dillon Bell, with four receivers waived. The starters rested in the finale, so his target evidence for the summer remains one two-minute completion from Kyler Murray.

The full episode, in writing
The receiver room Jordan Addison works in is now settled: Minnesota kept six on the initial 53 — Justin Jefferson, Addison, Jauan Jennings, Tai Felton, Myles Price and Dillon Bell — per Rob Kleifield at the team's website. Bell, an undrafted rookie, was one of the cutdown's flagged surprises, per Eric Strack at Minnesota Sports Fan; Michael Briscoe, Terrill Davis, Trayvon Rudolph and Marcus Sanders Jr. were waived, per Tyler Forness at A to Z Sports; and Jeshaun Jones opens the year on reserve/suspended for three games, per Josh Alper at Pro Football Talk. Addison himself generated no individual item all week; nothing in the window's reporting moved his status.
Our watch line asked whether Addison would draw starter targets if Minnesota played its front line in the finale. It didn't: Kevin O'Connell rested his starters in Friday night's 34-to-six loss at Denver, per Craig Peters at the team's website. So Addison ends the preseason with the same evidence base he had a week ago — one roughly 15-yard completion from Kyler Murray in the joint-practice two-minute drill — not because he lost reps, but because there were none to have.
Our June preview treated Addison's 42-catch 2025 as circumstance — suspension, then shaky quarterback play — with quarterback resolution as the whole swing, and that half keeps hardening: Murray goes to the opener as Minnesota's starting quarterback, per Myles Simmons at Pro Football Talk. The half that sizes his season, the target share next to Jefferson, T.J. Hockenson and Jennings, is exactly as unknown as it was in June — cut day confirmed the personnel and said nothing about the pecking order. We'll take this up again when real targets exist to count.
