Overview

• Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson has been out for six games due to a hamstring injury and is unlikely to play in the upcoming game against the Chicago Bears.
• Jefferson, who was among the highest-drafted players in fantasy leagues this season, has made it clear that his health is more important than fantasy football games.
• Despite his injury, the Vikings have managed to win five of their last six games, largely due to the performance of recently acquired quarterback Joshua Dobbs.
• Jefferson is expected to return post the team's bye week for the Dec. 10 game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
• Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell emphasized that Jefferson's long-term career is the priority, and he will not be rushed back onto the field.
