On Wednesday afternoon, the Minnesota Vikings officially made a move that we all knew was coming, and made another move that could potentially have some significant repercussions, too.
The team has announced that they have formally placed wide receiver Justin Jefferson on injured reserve, as we told you yesterday. The team also announced that they have placed quarterback Nick Mullens on injured reserve which means that, at least for now, rookie Jaren Hall is the backup to Kirk Cousins.
Jefferson is on injured reserve because of the hamstring injury that he suffered in the second half of Sunday’s loss to Kansas City.
