Not practicing at OTAs

Addison (undisclosed) did not practice Tuesday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
The Vikings' first-round pick at No. 23 overall, Addison was injured during the rookie minicamp earlier this month and is being held out of OTAs for "precautionary reasons," according to coach Kevin O'Connell, who added that it's "nothing serious at all." Addison was at least in attendance Tuesday but only as a spectator. Perhaps he'll be cleared for mandatory minicamp next month.

The Vikings selected Addison in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 23rd overall.
Addison is slightly built at 5-foot-11, 173 pounds, but the former USC and Pittsburgh star produced at a level in college that makes his skill set beyond question. Addison's skill level is basically off the charts, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to catch 160 passes at Pittsburgh before turning 20 years old. It's highly unusual for a wide receiver to produce the volume Addison did at Pittsburgh (2,259 yards and 21 touchdowns) while maintaining the efficiency he did (68.4 percent catch rate, 9.7 yards per target). Because he's so light it's unlikely that Addison will bully anyone at the catch point, but his ability to separate from defenders and snatch the ball from the air is stuff you don't see often. Justin Jefferson is the unquestioned WR1 in Minnesota, but Addison could prove himself overqualified as a WR2 in time.
Suffers back tightness

Addison suffered back tightness Saturday and did not complete the remaining drills at the NFL Combine, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The star USC wideout ran a disappointing 4.49 40-yard dash on his second attempt and quickly shut things down from there. Addison did measure at 5-foot-11, but at just 173 pounds it was assumed he'd put together a faster 40-yard dash, especially given his blazing speed on college tape. The 21-year-old is expected to participate in all drills at USC's Pro Day on March 21.
