MAJOR Vikings Injury News On Jordan Addison + Brian Flores RESPONDS To Tua

[Music] what's going on everybody Welcome in the Vikings Now by Chad Sports my name is Patrick seatman and coming up on today's show we got some big time injury uh injury news around these three players Jordan Addison we got an update on when he is possibly looking to return after he was carded off uh in joint practice versus Cleveland Browns TJ hackinson could he be returning week seven we'll share with you guys uh the info on him and then we do have some concerning injury news around about around Robert tunan which I'll share with you guys here in a sec but then also later on today's show Brian Flores finally responded to Tua after he called him a terrible person the other day and I thought Flores handled it perfectly you know it kind of seemed he was at peace at this situation so we'll share with you guys what Flores had the uh had to say on the second half of today's show so make sure you guys do stay tuned for that but hey we're also closing in on 28,000 subscribers here on the channel we just need 209 more of you guys to hit that sub button I want to hit 28k for Adrien Peterson my favorite Vikings player of all time I put the goal as to hit 28k here on the channel before week one against the New York Giants and you guys are absolutely killing it so if you guys haven't already hit that sub button and lock Us in well let's get you guys update around Jordan Addison here so this was coming in from Darren wolson um he said he is anticipating he will be back midweek leading into the Giants game but does not know if the ankle will be 100% And with high ankle injuries I'm assuming the Vikings will you know proceed very cautiously about bringing back Jordan Addison because of the fact that you have other guys in this wide receiver room who have stepped up and I think the Vikings are in a situation where you can not necessarily put Jordan Addison on ice but tell him you are not seeing the field until you are absolutely 110% healthy I would not risk rolling Addison out there especially for week one against the Giants considering the Vikings the weeks after that have like the ners the Texans the Lions Packers Jets like you got some really good football teams where I would prefer Addison to be 100% against those guys rather than you know forcing the issue and playing against the Giants and potentially you know hindering himself you know for the rest of the season but kind of gets me to this point the Vikings can manage Jordan Addison missing time now if you would have asked me before the season or before a couple uh weeks ago like let's just say Addison you know following the DUI what if he gets suspended the whole year how do you feel about this wide receiver room I would have told you I'm very very concerned because heading into training camp heading into the preseason you necessarily just had Justin Jefferson and a bunch of Nob buies besides Jordan Addison but we saw two players really step up and play their best football of their career the past two weeks and the first guy being Tristan Jackson uh massive shout out to him uh really balled out in JJ McCarthy's debut against the Raiders as he connected with them for four receptions 100 yards in that game and also had a touchdown but specifically this past week against the Cleveland Browns still had four receptions 39 yards another touchdown and we see that big playability of Tristan Jackson I mean 19.9 yards per catch in two preseason games is fantastic and he also had that Jet Sweep which I loved we saw that burner we saw that extra juice that he can head to and you know honestly originally when I was thinking about Tristian Jackson and what type of receiver he is he was always a good route Runner but I always felt like he lacked that topend athletic ability but now this preseason I don't know if he was putting in just extra work uh this past off season and he increased his speed but he looked fast he looked at he looked athletic and he looked like one of the more athletic players out there on the football field but speaking about speed how about Speedy Naylor man uh Jaylen Naylor has been awesome only had four receptions on very limited reps but you see the big playability him eclipsing 94 yards and having 232 yards per catch and I thought the coolest part about Naylor um Jefferson was doing an interview uh this past week after practice and they asked them they were like hey Jefferson name some of the young receivers uh across the NFL or potentially on your roster that you think are going to take that next step he mentioned tank Dell he mentioned Malik neighbors and then he goes keep your eyes is out on this guy speedy and then the person giving the interview said can we have his government name not just speedy and he obviously said no his name is Jaylen Naylor keep your eyes out on him he'll be turning heads and he actually said he's going to be a big part of this offense this upcoming season so even if Addison were to have to miss time I am more than comfortable with having uh Jaylen Naylor Tristian Jackson slot into that wide receiver two wide receiver three spot and I'll tell you what I feel a lot more comfortable about that group than I did a couple of weeks ago but what about TJ Hockinson when is he going to return after this scumbag Kirby Joseph took out his knee um in one of the final games of the regular season last year also funny enough about Kirby Joseph he had the same move um in this play right here against Tyler higgy in the divisional round he ended up tearing his ACL as well my Le's favorite player in the National Football League is number 31 on the Detroit Lions but Darren wolson had an update around T.J hackinson saying watching Hockinson off to the side on Monday looked a little hesitant at times a little bit more than a week or two ago I think the bottom line on Hockinson after the buy does that mean like late October early November but it's still going to be a bit on TJ hackinson now I'm hoping for a week seven uh return as he is on pup so he will be on that until at least week six but you know if they could somehow have you know Hockinson out there for week seven I mean that would be awesome for the Vikings I thought originally it was going to be more weeks 12 week 13 around Thanksgiving time but if he could somehow be ready to go week seven it could be huge specifically for Sam darnold I think when you have a you know a sporadic quarterback which Sam darnold is you need that safety blanket because if he's making his reads it's most likely going to be number 18 Justin Jefferson first read and then it's probably a quick off to you know Jaylen Naylor and then you have that safety blanket in TJ Hockinson where he can take a three- yard flat or a two yard curl whatever it is he can turn that into let's just say six seven yards just because of how Elite he is so having TJ hackinson back would be awesome but you know it would be specifically awesome for Sam darnold just to have that but we El got an injury update around another tight end and this was incredibly concerning this was coming in from Jud zad um works for score uh score North very tapped in Vikings beat reporter but he said Heath tanion got a good chance here but this to me signifies that his body just or might just be done it's a phenomenally tough sport he's a big guy he's obviously taking a pounding I wonder if this is the end of the road here I don't see a path here I'll tell you what when I read this quote from Jud I was one incredibly concerned but also two to me this was new information I don't know if I've just been closed off on the Robert tunan injury news over the last couple of weeks but I thought he was having a great training camp and great OTA period we heard Alec Lewis Rave about him Rave Rave Rave about him and his performance during OTAs we saw JJ McCarthy connect with him on a couple of deep balls over the middle of the field during training camp and he actually had a good preseason run and now with him potentially having to retire before the season started I mean that's just concerned to me and it's also you know new information again maybe I've just been closed off to the Robert tunan news but that was just you know news to me but hey if you guys want the Vikes to be healthy this season I know I ask you guys to do a lot here on

but hey don't jinx it like this freaking video so we don't have to deal with that injury news during the season but coming up next year on the program we're going to be talking what Brian Flores had

asked was about what Tua said about him this is what Flo had to say he said I'm genuinely happy for this for the success that Tu has had and I really wish him nothing but the best player relationships are very important to me look I'm human that hit me in a way that I wouldn't say was positive I've got to use that and say how can I grow from that how can I be better I'm always going to correct mistakes I'm always going to have a high standard reflecting on the relationship there's things that I could do better and I've grown in that and just listening to Flora's talk about this to a situation he really seemed unbothered like obviously he was you know concerned about um or not concerned obviously he was going to get asked about what Tua said about him as Tua called him a terrible person I'm sure Flor was just sitting at home with his family and he saw that kind of notification pop up on his phone as it went semi viral everywhere about what Tua had to say about him but he seemed unbothered he didn't really seemed worried about it and you know the one thing that I loved during this press conference was actually Josh matelis and Harrison Phillips well he was given this presser they came behind him and they both kind of flexed their arms like this and kind of looked like flores's bodyguards showing support for the defensive coordinator which I think is awesome Kevin okono was also asked about it he said here in this Vikings organization Flores is loved and I will make this note if you want to Spin Zone this in a positive way for the Minnesota Vikings maybe two his comments could keep Brian Flores as defensive coordinator here for a couple of years like I think if the Vikings defense has a top 10 year like I am expecting they will I'm assuming Flores we get some interviews but let's just say that these owners are looking at the comments Tua just made and saying to themselves do we really want to bring in that noise and bringing that guy into our organization maybe it keeps him in Minnesota for a little while longer but my final thoughts on this and then we're done talking about the Tua situation here on the channel I don't think this was a big deal I honestly don't really have a problem with what Tua said that's just him opin or his opinion and I'm cool with that I just thought it was weird and unnecessary out of Tua like I thought he could have just handled it as hey you know what me and Brian Flores we didn't really have a good relationship but I love my man Mike McDaniel and turn it into more of a positive story around how McDaniels had you know has upped his game instead of just bashing Brian Flores and just turning into you know calling him a terrible person like those are fighting words from Tua so you know final thoughts there not a big deal it's just kind of weird and you know unnecessary out of the Dolphins quarterback but let's show Brian Flores some love here as he's clearly loved in the uh organization here in Minnesota so give me a skull flow Down Below in the comments section show him uh our support here on Vikings now now if you guys do want to give me a follow on Twitter that's a handle right there at Pats if you guys do so I'll give you guys a follow right back but thank you guys so much for the support on the show as of late see you guys next time go bikes [Music]
