Minnesota’s Laquon Treadwell addition occurred after a Chad Beebe injury, and the Vikings will swap out reserve wide receivers on their active roster. The team placed Beebe on IR.
Beebe tore ankle ligaments on Sunday, and while a timetable is not fully known, the young wideout will be shelved for at least eight weeks. The Vikings have not planned a Beebe surgery, per NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero (on Twitter).
The second-generation NFL wide receiver had been operating as Minnesota’s No. 3 wide receiver. Although the Vikings have been the NFL’s run-heaviest team through three games, Beebe did have a 61-yard catch-and-run in Week 2. However, he’s only been targeted twice this season.
The Vikings’ receiver depth chart now houses only Treadwell, whom the team cut before the regular season’s outset, and seventh-round rookie Olabisi Johnson.
Noooooooooooooooooooooo
Even though he plays for a division rival I love this kids attitude and energy. Hope he makes a full recovery.
