Latest news

  • Jefferson brought in five of nine targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 19-15 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Jefferson led the Vikings in receptions with the aid of a team-high target total, and the highlight of the perennial Pro Bowler's afternoon was his touchdown grab. Jefferson stuck his hand up and tapped Kyler Murray's (hamstring) pass to himself while in tight coverage in the left corner of the end zone early in the second quarter, ultimately securing a memorable one-yard score. Jefferson has topped 50 receiving yards just three times and is still in search of his first 100-yard game of the season, but he's found the end zone in two of the last three games heading into a Week 9 home showdown against the Bills on Monday night, Nov. 9.

  • Week 7 winners and losers: Pollard, Burrow lead the way; Walker III, Purdy struggle

    Tony Pollard, Joe Burrow and Zay Flowers came up big in Week 7, while Brock Purdy, Derrick Henry and Kenneth Walker III all had quiet days.

  • Jefferson caught four of seven targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Colts.

    The targets and receiving yards actually led the Vikings in a low-scoring defensive battle, but it was T.J. Hockenson on the other end of Kyler Murray's only TD pass. Jefferson is still looking for his first 100-yard performance of the season, and he's been held under 60 yards in three of his five games. The star wideout could be poised to finally break out in Week 8 against the Lions' struggling secondary.

  • Jefferson (ankle) practiced in full Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Jefferson's upgrade from limited Wednesday to uncapped one day later indicates that the ankle injury that has bothered him since the middle of a Week 3 win at Tampa Bay is behind him. He'll be taking on a Colts defense Sunday that has allowed the 10th-most yards per target (8.6) to opposing wide receivers this season.

  • Jefferson (ankle) was limited at Wednesday's practice.

    Despite having the benefit of a Week 6 bye, Jefferson appears to still be dealing with the ankle injury that he suffered in Week 3 and that forced his inactive status in Week 4 before he suited up in Week 5 at New Orleans, when he hauled in six of seven targets for 79 yards and one touchdown. Meanwhile, fellow WR Jordan Addison (hamstring) practiced fully Wednesday, meaning Jefferson has a bit of work to do to get the top of the Vikings' receiving corps back to 100 percent.
