What happened to Justin Jefferson? Why Vikings RB is not playing today vs Dolphins

Minnesota Vikings' star wide receiver Justin Jefferson will not play in Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins due to an ankle injury he sustained during the team's Week 3 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Vikings ruled Jefferson out of the matchup with the Dolphins, which was confirmed by the team and the NFL. Jefferson had been a central figure in the Vikings' passing attack, and his absence will force the team to rely more heavily on Jordan Addison and T.J.

Hockenson in the passing game. The Vikings, currently at 3-0, will face off against a Miami Dolphins team that is still searching for its first win of the season, which stands at 0-3.
