Overview

• Jefferson exited Thursday’s training camp session early after reporting tightness in both legs following a catch.
• An MRI revealed a very mild strain in his left hamstring, leading the Vikings to hold him out of practice as a precaution.
• Coach Kevin O’Connell noted this injury affects the opposite leg from Jefferson’s 2023 strain and praised the receiver’s self-assessment.
• The Vikings plan a follow-up evaluation next week before resuming his on-field work and introducing padded drills.
• Despite the conservative approach, O’Connell is confident Jefferson will be ready to face the Chicago Bears in the Sept. 8 opener.
