Justin Jefferson Will Be Placed on IR

The nightmare season for the Minnesota Vikings continues.

Not only has Minnesota fallen to 1-4 to begin the year, largely because of some silly turnovers and other mistakes, but now, they will have to move forward without the best wide receiver in the league.

Justin Jefferson missed the final stretch of Minnesota’s Week 5 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs with a hamstring injury. This injury is severe enough that the Vikings have decided it would be best to place the star WR on injured reserve.
