Minnesota Vikings star Justin Jefferson is reportedly set to hit the injured reserve and miss the next four games with a hamstring injury.
The Minnesota Vikings will reportedly place star wide receiver Justin Jefferson on injured reserve after he suffered a hamstring injury in Sunday’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Jefferson will miss at least the next four games of the regular season. The Vikings have tough games against the Chicago Bears, San Francisco 49ers, Green Bay Packers and Atlanta Falcons on their schedule.
The NFL Network first reported the Vikings’ decision on Jefferson. The NFL star suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of the game against Kansas City. Minnesota head coach Kevin O’Connell said Monday that Jefferson wanted to come back into the game, but the team chose to keep him sidelined to protect him. 'It probably wasn’t going to be possible, but he was trying to figure out a way,' O’Connell said.
Minnesota is 1-4. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
