Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders due to a chest injury, the team announced.
Ben Goessling of the Star Tribune reported that Jefferson has been taken to the hospital out of precaution.
Jefferson, who was playing for the first time after missing the previous seven games, recorded two catches for 27 yards before exiting in the second quarter. He took a hard hit to the chest area on his second reception.
Jefferson appeared in the first five games of the 2023 season before suffering a right hamstring injury in a Week 5 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
