Vikings Open Justin Jefferson's Practice Window

one year ago

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (hamstring) has been on the Injured Reserve list since suffering a hamstring injury in the Week 5 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He has missed his required four games on IR, and the Vikings are opening his 21-day window to be activated to the active roster. This means Jefferson is eligible to practice this week, but it doesn't necessarily mean he'll play in Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints. His recovery timeline was originally listed as 4-6 weeks, so he should be returning sooner than later. Fantasy managers will need to check back later in the week to see if he has a shot at playing on Sunday. When he does return, it will be interesting to see how he performs with quarterback Joshua Dobbs. Jordan Addison, T.J. Hockenson, and K.J. Osborn (concussion) will all be at risk of seeing a mightily reduced target share when the superstar receiver takes the field. UPDATE: Jefferson was limited in practice Wednesday.
