Vikings' Justin Jefferson Questionable for Game Against Saints Following Hamstring Injury Rehab

Despite four consecutive wins in Jefferson's absence, Vikings hope for his return to boost offensive line as they aim to stay in playoff contention.

  • Minnesota Vikings' wide receiver Justin Jefferson is listed as questionable for the upcoming game against the New Orleans Saints, following a productive week of practice after a hamstring injury.
  • Despite the uncertainty, the Vikings have managed to secure four consecutive wins in Jefferson's absence, demonstrating their ability to succeed without their star player.
  • Jefferson, the 2022 NFL Offensive Player of the Year, has been out since Week 5 due to the injury, but the team has now opened the 21-day window to activate him off injured reserve.
  • In Jefferson's absence, rookie wide receiver Jordan Addison has emerged as a reliable option, leading the team with seven touchdown catches, while veteran tight end T.J. Hockenson has also been steady with team highs of 60 receptions and 80 targets.
  • Other players listed as questionable for the game include tight end T.J. Hockenson (ribs), receiver K.J. Osborn (concussion), while backup quarterback Jaren Hall (concussion) has been ruled out.
