Justin Jefferson, the Minnesota Vikings' star wide receiver, is listed as questionable for their Week 5 game against the New Orleans Saints after sustaining a left ankle sprain during a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Jefferson has been the team's most impactful offensive player, and his potential absence could pose significant challenges for a struggling Vikings offense.
