Kevin O'Connell shares update on the health of Justin Jefferson
Kevin O'Connell shared an update on Justin Jefferson ahead of Week 4.
Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O Connell has provided an update on the recovery of All-Pro wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who suffered an ankle injury during the team's Week 3 road game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The injury forced Jefferson to miss the subsequent Week 4 matchup against the Miami Dolphins, but O Connell revealed that Jefferson is expected to make a return by practicing next week.
The primary objective is to have him play in the upcoming game against Louisiana. In Jefferson's absence, Jordan Addison, a first-round draft pick, is anticipated to step up and assume the role of the team's WR1. Addison displayed his potential during the Week 3 game, recording five receptions for 90 yards and one touchdown. If healthy, he could be handed double-digit targets in Week 4, potentially serving as the top receiver for the Vikings.
