MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Vikings have signed first-round draft pick wide receiver Jordan Addison.

The team confirmed the roster move Wednesday afternoon.

Addison was drafted by Minnesota at No. 23 overall in the 2023 NFL Draft in April.

He's expected to provide another weapon for an offense that lost longtime wide receiver Adam Thielen over the offseason.
