Justin Jefferson's ankle injury suffered in Minnesota's win over Tampa Bay is not expected to sideline him long-term, Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said. An MRI performed Monday revealed Jefferson has an ankle sprain, and per reporting citing O'Connell, the imaging came back clean on long-term concerns.
There is a chance Jefferson could play in Minnesota's next game against Miami on Sunday, according to multiple reports. ESPN reported Jefferson "could play this week," while other outlets similarly indicated the possibility of his return for the Dolphins matchup.
