Addison had registered one catch for two yards before leaving the game. Tight end T.J. Hockenson was also ruled out for the remainder of the game.
The injury occurred during the return of a Nick Mullens interception, his second of the half. Addison was the intended receiver on both interceptions. He was hit by his own teammate while chasing down Lions safety Kerby Joseph and quickly entered the medical tent.
Addison has registered 63 catches for 826 yards and nine touchdowns this season and has been an excellent piece of the Vikings receiving core alongside Justin Jefferson.
Losing Addison and Hockenson for the remainder of the game means that Minnesota will have to rely on K.J. Osborn, Josh Oliver, C.J. Ham and Johnny Mundt to make up the production.
Minnesota in 7-7 and currently in a playoff position.
