The Minnesota Vikings made a pair of roster moves Saturday as wide receiver Jordan Addison deals with a thumb injury ahead of a pivotal NFC North matchup against the Green Bay Packers.
As the Vikings (6-2) prepare to face the Packers (6-3) on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on Fox at Lambeau Field, Minnesota elevated tight end Devin Culp and wide receiver Jeshaun Jones to the active roster.
The Vikings announced the moves Saturday on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“The #Vikings have elevated TE Devin Culp and WR Jeshaun Jones to the active roster for tomorrow's game.
“Culp has changed jersey numbers from 48 to 83.”

Jones' elevation provides Minnesota with additional depth at wide receiver amid the injury concern surrounding Addison. The Vikings will hope to have their offensive weapons available for a divisional matchup that could have significant implications in the NFC North race.
Vikings prepare for Packers with Kirk Cousins back in Minnesota
Minnesota will also have a familiar face under center against Green Bay.
Kirk Cousins will make his first start since returning to the Vikings after Minnesota acquired the veteran quarterback from the Las Vegas Raiders earlier this week in exchange for a 2027 third-round pick. Head coach Kevin O'Connell confirmed Friday that Cousins will immediately take over the starting role.
Cousins previously played six seasons with Minnesota from 2018 through 2023 and spent two seasons working with O'Connell before leaving the organization.
The Vikings enter Sunday's matchup looking to end a two-game losing streak after beginning the season 6-0. Minnesota suffered a 23-6 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football in Week 9, marking its second consecutive defeat.
Now, the Vikings will look to get back on track against a 6-3 Packers team while managing Addison's injury status and integrating Cousins back into the offense.
