Earlier in the week, the Minnesota Vikings placed one of their young wide receivers, Jalen Nailor, on injured reserve.
As a result, this left the Vikings with just four wide receivers on the active roster heading into Week 3 against the Los Angeles Chargers:
- Justin Jefferson
- Jordan Addison
- K.J. Osborn
- Brandon Powell
Instead of relying solely on this quartet, the Vikings decided to elevate extra receiver help from their practice squad for the weekend in the form of Trishton Jackson.
