    Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Modest numbers in Week 7 win

    Justin Jefferson caught four of seven targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Colts.The targets and receiving yards actually led the Minnesota Vikings in a low-scoring defensive battle, but it was T.J. Hockenson on the other end of Kyler Murray's only TD pass. Jefferson is still looking for his first 100-yard performance of the season, and he's been held under 60 yards in three of his five games. The star wideout could be poised to finally break out in Week 8 against the Lions' struggling secondary.

    Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Remains limited by ankle issue

    Justin Jefferson (ankle) was a limited at Wednesday's practice.Despite having the benefit of a Week 6 bye, Jefferson appears to be dealing with the ankle injury that he suffered in Week 3 and forced inactive status in Week 4 before he suited up in Week 5 at New Orleans, when he hauled in six of seven targets for 79 yards and one touchdown. Meanwhile, fellow WR Jordan Addison (hamstring) practiced fully Wednesday, meaning Jefferson has a bit of work to do to get the top of the Minnesota Vikings' receiving corps back to 100 percent.

    Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Paces pass catchers in homecoming

    Justin Jefferson (ankle) brought in six of seven targets for 79 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for minus-11 yards in the Minnesota Vikings' 23-13 win over the Saints on Sunday. He also committed a fumble that remained with Minnesota.Making his return from a one-game absence due to an ankle injury, Jefferson capitalized on an opportunity to perform in front of his home-state crowd. The perennial Pro Bowler was expected to be busy due to Jordan Addison's (hamstring) inactive status, and Jefferson ultimately led the Vikings across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The veteran receiver added his first touchdown since Week 1 when he recorded an impressive 15-yard scoring grab in the back corner of the end zone to cap off the first possession of the second half, and Jefferson will next set his sights on a vulnerable Colts defense in a Week 7 home matchup on Sunday, Oct. 25 following a Week 6 bye.

    Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Back in action Sunday

    Justin Jefferson (ankle) is listed as active Sunday at New Orleans.Jefferson thus is set for his first in-game action since the second quarter of a Week 3 win in Tampa Bay, when he initially picked up a left ankle injury. After sitting out last Sunday versus the Dolphins, he logged three limited sessions during Week 5 prep, and with his status confirmed for Sunday, there's a good chance he serves as the top pass catcher for QB Kyler Murray with fellow WR Jordan Addison (hamstring) inactive, even if Jefferson can't handle a full workload.

    Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Listed questionable for Sunday

    Justin Jefferson (ankle) will go through a pregame workout before the Minnesota Vikings make a decision on his availability for Sunday's contest at New Orleans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Jefferson hasn't played a snap since injuring his left ankle in the second quarter of a Week 3 win at Tampa Bay, but he relayed to Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com on Wednesday that he was determined to suit up for a game in his home state of Louisiana. Limited practices Wednesday through Friday left Jefferson questionable for Week 5 action, and the upcoming workout will determine whether or not he's included among Minnesota's inactives about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. The same cane be said for fellow WR Jordan Addison (hamstring), which will leave the receiving corps particularly short-handed if both of them are sidelined.
