Justin Jefferson Unlikely To Return In Week 10

Justin Jefferson Unlikely To Return In Week 10

one year ago

Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said it would be "a little aggressive" to think that All-Pro wide receiver Justin Jefferson (hamstring) could come off Injured Reserve to play in Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints, although "he can't wait to get back out there." The good news is the Vikings opened Jefferson's 21-day practice window to be activated from IR this week. However, fantasy managers will likely be without the 24-year-old for at least another week. K.J. Osborn (concussion) is going to need to clear the league's concussion protocol in order to play on Sunday, too, so Brandon Powell could be looking at No. 2 duties in the passing game behind rookie Jordan Addison this weekend if Osborn is unable to play.
