Vikings' Justin Jefferson Unlikely to Play Against Bears Due to Hamstring Injury

Despite his absence, the team has managed to secure five wins in their last six games, with Jefferson expected to return post bye week.

  • Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson has been out for six games due to a hamstring injury and is unlikely to play in the upcoming game against the Chicago Bears.
  • Jefferson, who was among the highest-drafted players in fantasy leagues this season, has made it clear that his health is more important than fantasy football games.
  • Despite his injury, the Vikings have managed to win five of their last six games, largely due to the performance of recently acquired quarterback Joshua Dobbs.
  • Jefferson is expected to return post the team's bye week for the Dec. 10 game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
  • Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell emphasized that Jefferson's long-term career is the priority, and he will not be rushed back onto the field.
