Early in Episode 3 of the Netflix documentary "Receiver," Justin Jefferson is driving to the Minnesota Vikings' practice facility. It's a sunny fall morning, not long after he suffered a right hamstring injury that put him on injured reserve.

In an audio overlay, reporters discuss whether Jefferson could milk the injury for leverage in contract negotiations. Absent a new deal, the idea went, Jefferson might be wise to sit out the team's remaining 12 games to eliminate the chance of further injury before his big payday.
