Vikings’ Justin Jefferson Being Handled With Caution Amid Hamstring Injury

Vikings star receiver Justin Jefferson suffered a strained right hamstring during his team’s 27–20 home loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

The injury caused Jefferson to miss the final 21 snaps of the game, which was a rare absence for the wideout. He hasn’t missed a game since he was drafted in 2020, and now that streak appears to be in jeopardy for Sunday’s game against the Bears.

Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell told reporters Monday that the team wants him to be “100%” before returning to the field in order to avoid a more serious injury.
