The Vikings benched wide receiver Jordan Addison for the first quarter of their win over the Browns on Sunday, keeping him from playing for the first 15 minutes of the game.
Per coach Kevin O'Connell, the Vikings held Addison out of the first quarter after he missed a team walkthrough this week. "Those types of things aren't in alignment with our standards and wanted to make sure he was held accountable for that," O'Connell explained after the game. "But at the same time he knows that. I thought he handled it professionally. He spoke with the team to let them know that."
