Vikings WR Justin Jefferson leaves game vs. Buccaneers early with ankle injury
Justin Jefferson had two catches on the Vikings' opening drive on Sunday afternoon.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson exited Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers early due to an ankle injury. According to AP Photo/Jason Behnken, Jefferson left the field after their opening drive in Tampa. He appeared to start the game normally, catching a deep 22-yard pass from Kyler Murray and then a 10-yard screen pass that set up a 54-yard field goal by Will Reichard.
However, Jefferson did not return to the game after being taken to the medical tent on the sideline. The Vikings confirmed that Jefferson was dealing with an ankle injury and is questionable to return. Jefferson had 147 receiving yards and two touchdowns so far this season, his seventh overall. He is the Vikings' top wide receiver, and the team is currently 2-0.
