Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson updated his injury status in a unique way Tuesday night.
Instead of waiting for a social media post from an NFL insider or Minnesota’s injury report, Jefferson—who suffered a chest injury in the second quarter of the Vikings’ 3–0 win over the Raiders on Sunday—broke the news himself at a charity event in a heartfelt exchange with a young fan.
“You going to play on Saturday?” a young fan asked Jefferson during a holiday shopping spree for Minnesota families from The Salvation Army.
