How long will Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson be out with injury?

The Minnesota Vikings will be without the services of Justin Jefferson for a minimum of four games, as the talented wide receiver suffered a hamstring injury during Week 5′s game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Justin Jefferson is considered one of the top wide receivers in the NFL, having made a strong impression during his rookie year last season. Despite his injury setback, the Vikings will hope for a speedy recovery for Jefferson, as he is a critical component of their offense. The team will undoubtedly feel his absence in the upcoming matches.

During the match, the current champions, the Chiefs, emerged victorious with a score of 27:20. The Vikings had a more challenging time avoiding defeat, especially after Jefferson had to leave the field due to an injury during the fourth quarter. Unfortunately, he could not return to the game as medical examinations confirmed that the damage was more severe than initially thought. The all-pro catcher, who is just 24 years old, must take a longer break to recover.

The Minnesota Vikings have added Jefferson to the list of injured players, and he will miss at least four matches. This means that he will not be part of the active roster. In his absence, wide receiver Jordan Edison will take over as the primary receiving option. The Vikings have a record of 1-4, with all their losses coming by a one-possession margin. Kevin O’Connell, the team’s coach, is at a turning point. Jefferson’s contract with Minnesota expires at the end of the season, and the franchise has not agreed to an extension of cooperation with him.

According to sources, Jefferson’s recovery could take longer than four weeks, and he won’t return to the field if the Vikings are not in contention for the playoffs.

Jefferson has had an impressive performance this season with 36 catches, 571 yards, and three touchdowns. He has spent his entire career with the Vikings and has recorded 360 catches, 5,396 yards, and 28 touchdowns.
