vike daddy Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell said at his Friday press conference that Addison is not going to play against the 49ers. Addison left last Sunday’s win over the Giants with an ankle injury and has not practiced this week. The Vikings could be without a few other starters as well. Safety Harrison Smith was added to the injury report when he missed Thursday’s practice and he will be listed as questionable due to a hip injury. Right tackle Brian O’Neill and right guard Ed Ingram will be in the same category. O’Neill’s elbow landed him on Thursday’s report while Ingram is a Friday addition with a triceps injury. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/jordan-addison-out-harrison-smith-questionable-for-vikings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-ALL-DAY Posted September 13 Author Share Posted September 13 This is the right call. The beginning of our season is the easiest on paper and we should be able to get by without CMC. No need to risk it and if he's having pain still after practice, that's not just going to go away in a week. I would even be fine if CMC misses the first half of the season. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the reporters saying regarding O'neill? They are leaning towards him playing or missing the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
49ersfan Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 CMC missed all of August with this injury and its like a 3 month injury right? Just IR him and have him come back after our bye week on Nov 10 vs Bucs Totally predictable after a season of heavy usage and a big contract tho lol. Hope he's just able to contribute and not reaggravate his injury this season. And hopefully he's fully healthy in 2025 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TecmoSuperJoe Posted Saturday at 03:20 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:20 PM (edited) Mason only had 5 pass pro snaps against the Jets. Will the Vikings blitz Purdy like crazy as they did last year? I feel like they'd even be more incentivized to. Also I remember they killed us on the ground running the ball. It was like the worst running attack in the league, but then of course they were able to plow their way through the defense.

Manny/Patrick Posted Saturday at 04:21 PM Share Posted Saturday at 04:21 PM Let’s say Mason is a top 5 back when Cmac comes back, would we entertain a 2 back system, or could we put Cmac at WR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No on CMC at WR but yes at two back system. Kyle would be a fool not to utilize Mason heavily if he shows he can be a top two back in the league. Would be Montgomery/Gibbs type of situation with CMC still getting around 60% of the carries. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
757-NINER Posted Saturday at 08:05 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:05 PM So what RB are we adding to the roster while CMC is out? Brieda? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

typecast Posted Sunday at 04:56 AM Share Posted Sunday at 04:56 AM 8 hours ago, 757-NINER said: So what RB are we adding to the roster while CMC is out? Brieda? They elevated Tracy Walker, who was signed in case Hufanga wasn't ready for the start of the season. Huf should probably be on IR but I think the team is trying to avoid having to use their return designations in case something happens later in the season.

jjbnum3 Posted Sunday at 04:14 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:14 PM (edited) As a 49ers fan, I think they roll. Short week, early start on the road, no CMC, 0-7 in Minnesota since 98? etc.? I don't care. This is one of the most complete teams in the league going up against Sam Darnold who 9er D should know pretty well since Sam was a 49er last year. Vikings D and coaching keep it close. 23 Niner gang- 18 Vikings *It also has the makings of a trap game.
