Justin Jefferson, the Minnesota Vikings’ outstanding wide receiver, was forced to miss a month of action due to a hamstring injury, and he is now listed on the injured reserve. The Minnesota Vikings had the best run of the 2023 NFL season in Jefferson’s absence, allegedly pulling off four consecutive wins as they battle to return to the playoffs.
Jefferson returned to practice on Wednesday for the first time since being placed on injured reserve, and he spoke with reporters on Thursday about how he’s feeling.
He stated,
“It’s day to day.” You can’t really put a date on it right now. (The training staff) has done an outstanding job with me. Making sure I’m in good spirits. Making ensuring I receive the work I need done, as well as the therapy and treatment I require.”

Jefferson went on to say,
“They want me completely, and I want them completely.” I don’t want to go out there 80, 90 percent and risk damaging it again. It’s simply day to day, and when the time comes, I’ll be ready to take the field.”
On Wednesday, Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell also commented on Jefferson’s recent remarks. He predicted that it would “probably be a little aggressive.”
