The smile on the face of receiver Jordan Addison said it all.

After missing the win over the Chicago Bears, the loss to the Atlanta Falcons, and the win over the Cincinnati Bengals while serving his suspension, Addison is set to make his return on Sunday when the Vikings play the Pittsburgh Steelers in Dublin, Ireland.

“My first game back going overseas,” Addison said. “It don’t get no better than that.”

That level of excitement was shared by head coach Kevin O’Connell earlier this week as he prepared to put together a game plan that included Addison as a part of the offense for the first time this season.

“It’s phenomenal to get him back,” O’Connell said. “We’ve had to kind of weather the storm a little bit early on.”

The numbers help illustrate those struggles.
