EAGAN, Minn. — The Minnesota Vikings (2-0) on Friday ruled out receiver Jordan Addison, outside linebacker Dallas Turner and linebacker Ivan Pace, Jr., for Sunday's Week 3 game against the Houston Texans (2-0).
Addison suffered an ankle injury in Week 1 at New York that forced him to miss last week's game, as well.
Turner suffered a knee injury in Week 2 against San Francisco, but he said Thursday that he is hopeful to return to action in Week 4 at Green Bay.
Pace (quad/ankle) joined the injury report this week.
The other players on Minnesota's injury report — center Garrett Bradbury (knee), guard Ed Ingram (triceps), receiver Justin Jefferson (quad), running back Aaron Jones, Sr. (hip), receiver Jalen Nailor (ankle), tackle Brian O'Neill (elbow) and outside linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel (foot) — did not receive a designation for the game and are expected to be available.
Kickoff is noon (CT) Sunday on CBS.
