The Minnesota Vikings faced the Houston Texans in the first game of their 2025 NFL preseason at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on Saturday with JJ McCarthy's return from a torn right meniscus expected to be the top story.

Perhaps the Vikings played against their potential replacement for the explosive playmaker they now have lost in Rondale Moore.

The team will need to add someone, especially with Jordan Addison facing a three-game suspension to start the year. Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox highlighted a potential replacement in free agent Gabe Davis. The former Bills and Jaguars wide receiver finds himself looking for work, and he may find it in Minnesota.
