Coach Declines Comment
Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell addressed reporters on Tuesday, Jan. 13, saying, “I don’t wanna speculate on that in any way, shape or form. I do think we’ve gotta get as many facts and find out exactly what happened. Speculating at this point would be incredibly premature for me.”

“On Jordan’s behalf, his legal team has already initiated the investigation, identified witnesses, and we are reviewing the viability of a claim for false arrest. He looks forward to the legal process and upon full investigation, we are confident Mr. Addison will be exonerated.”
