Justin Jefferson Stays Limited At Practice

Justin Jefferson Stays Limited At Practice

one year ago

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (hamstring) was limited at practice on Thursday. While his presence at Thursday's practice can only be a positive sign for Jefferson's recovery from a hamstring injury, it doesn't exactly put him on track to make his much-awaited return in Week 10 versus the New Orleans Saints. And even if the 24-year-old All-Pro maintains some level of activity during Friday's session, it still may not guarantee that he'll be activated from injured reserve ahead of game day. Fantasy managers should not be relying on Jefferson in fantasy lineups, as head coach Kevin O'Connell has already stated that it would be "a little aggressive" to expect him to return on Sunday. It's great to see Jefferson working his way back, but it'll probably be another week of first-round rookie Jordan Addison working as Minnesota's top wideout. With K.J. Osborn (concussion) particularly iffy, T.J. Hockenson (ribs) should also be leaned on heavily in the passing game.
