Overview
- Justin Jefferson is listed questionable for Sunday after practicing only in a limited role this week and he told reporters he plans to play pending how his ankle feels in a Saturday check and the pregame workout.
- Jefferson suffered an ankle sprain in Week 3 and an MRI showed no structural damage, but short-term swelling and his response to treatment will determine whether he is cleared to play.
- Jordan Addison is also questionable with a hamstring after missing Wednesday and logging limited sessions, which makes him a risky but likely target if Jefferson is inactive.
- The Vikings put left tackle Christian Darrisaw and cornerback Chuck Demmings on the out list and listed several linemen as questionable, a change that could weaken pass protection and alter Kyler Murray’s game plan.
- Fantasy models give Jefferson about a 66% chance to play and experts say he should be started if active, so managers should watch the Vikings’ final inactive list issued roughly 90 minutes before kickoff and have late-swap plans ready.
