EAGAN, Minn. -- A right hamstring injury ended Justin Jefferson's hopes of breaking the NFL record for receiving yards in a season and eclipsing the 2,000-yard mark, at least for this year.
As the Minnesota Vikings receiver prepares to return Sunday after a seven-game absence, he has set his sight on a new number.
"Since I got hurt the new goal is 1,000 yards," Jefferson said Thursday. "I want to end every single year over 1,000 yards."
Jefferson opened this season on a blazing pace, averaging an NFL-high 135.
