Vikings All-Pro WR Justin Jefferson out vs Dolphins with ankle injury
Minnesota Vikings two-time All-Pro receiver Justin Jefferson has been ruled out against the Miami Dolphins with an ankle injury.
Justin Jefferson, the Minnesota Vikings' top-ranked wide receiver, will miss the team's Week 4 matchup against the Miami Dolphins due to an ankle injury sustained during their Week 3 victory over the Buccaneers. This marks Jefferson's first absence since 2023, when he was sidelined with a hamstring injury for seven games and later a chest injury.
His availability for the upcoming Week 5 game against the New Orleans Saints remains uncertain. The Vikings will be without Jefferson, punter Brett Thorson due to a hamstring injury, and cornerback Charles Demmings, who also has a hamstring injury. Despite the injuries, Minnesota remains the favored team in the clash, currently unbeaten, while the Dolphins, aiming for their maiden win of the season, are without their star running back De’Von Achane for the remainder of the campaign.
