Justin Jefferson injury status and Vikings roster updates

Overview

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson has been managing a left ankle sprain sustained during a Week 3 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Initially, the team ruled Jefferson out for the Week 4 matchup against the Miami Dolphins to avoid aggravating the injury, despite an MRI showing no long-term structural damage. Following his absence, Jefferson returned to practice on a limited basis and reported that his recovery is in a ‘real good’ place, expressing hope to play in the Week 5 game against the New Orleans Saints.

Ahead of the Week 5 matchup at Caesars Superdome, the Vikings released an injury report listing Jefferson as a limited participant due to his ongoing ankle issue. Other Minnesota players listed as limited participants include running back Aaron Jones and right tackle Brian O’Neill, while running back Jordan Mason, wide receiver Jordan Addison, and left tackle Christian Darrisaw are listed as nonparticipants.

Jefferson was active for the Week 5 game against the Saints, recording six receptions for 79 yards and a touchdown in a 23-13 victory. During that matchup, teammates Jordan Addison and Odell Beckham Jr. were ruled inactive, with Addison sidelined by a hamstring strain and Beckham Jr. unavailable for game action.
