The Vikings waived Jefferson (undisclosed) from injured reserve Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Jefferson was set to miss the entire 2026 season while on the Vikings' injured reserve. Now that he's been let go and assuming he clears waivers, Jefferson will have the opportunity to sign and play with another team once he has fully recovered from his undisclosed injury. The 2021 seventh-rounder could garner interest from teams looking to add backfield depth on the practice squad.
