Sucks for Moore and the 3rd string center. Thankfully as was said above, doesn't move the meter from the team perspective.
Agree. Not many receivers are going to want to come to Minnesota knowing they'd be WR3 or even WR4 by week four. I think Nailor is ready for WR2 during Addison's absence. WR3 will either be Lucky Jackson or Tai Felton. In context with the rest of the NFL, that's not really that bad.
They may bring in another receiver, but I think it would more likely be someone on Rondale Moore's level.

It would be nice if a guy like Silas Bolden could step up, but he had some nerves working in last Saturday's game. He's got similar skills to Rondale Moore, although smaller even but it all might be too much for him mentally right now.

I kind of wonder whether they'll bring Powell back for depth and as PR. He's still a FA.

I think if they do add a receiver, it would be a guy like Powell.

From the local beat guys, he hasn't been very impressive... but they aren't coaches or scouts so take it with a grain of salt.

I'd say if we had a veteran quarterback it would make it a little easier to defer to the young unproven guys, but I wouldn't like McCarthy having to rely on Lucky Jackson and crew in real in game time situations. This is why I brought up at draft time that it wouldn't be a crazy "way out" idea to draft Emeka Egbuka or someone like that
