If there were any Minnesota Vikings fans that were holding out hope for the return of Justin Jefferson this Sunday when the team faces the New Orleans Saints, they’re going to have to wait at least one more week.
On Saturday, the Vikings officially downgraded Jefferson to “out” for Sunday’s game. That means the soonest we’ll see Jefferson back is next week on Sunday Night Football when the Vikings travel to face the Denver Broncos.
Jefferson had been listed as “questionable” on the final injury report for the week after being limited in practice all week.
