EAGAN, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings gave receiver Justin Jefferson a day off from practice Wednesday, timed to coincide with the team's scheduled off day Thursday.
When he returned to the field Friday, Jefferson made clear that he and the Vikings are taking significant steps to avoid a reinjury of the right hamstring he tore last season, costing him seven games.
"I'm so scared for it to happen again that I've been overly cautious about it," Jefferson said, "just trying to take care of my body in the right way, just trying to find new things that I can implement in my day-to-day life that can better help me throughout the season.
