Vikings HC: Justin Jefferson Day-to-Day, Could Play vs. Bengals inthemiddleof Chest Injury

Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell informed pressreporters on Monday that superstar wideout Justin Jefferson is thoughtabout “day-to-day, ideally with a great possibility of playing with us in Cincinnati.”

Jefferson, who returned to the field for the veryfirst time giventhat suffering a right hamstring injury in Week 5, left Sunday’s 3-0 win over the Las Vegas Raiders with a chest injury and was taken to a medicalfacility for preventive factors.

Jefferson, 24, is probably the NFL’s finest receiver and hasactually been extremely reliable when healthy this season, publishing 38 captures for 598 lawns and 3 ratings in parts of simply 6 videogames. That rate in a 17-game season would land him at 107 receptions for 1,694 lawns and 8 goals.

And that type of production would be par for the course for Jefferson, who captured 128 passes for 1,809 lawns and 8 goals in 2022.

That was with Kirk Cousins, nevertheless, and the Vikings discover themselves with a significant quandary at the position following his season-ending ripped Achilles.

Joshua Dobbs has hadahardtime profoundly in the past 3 weeks—after winning in his veryfirst 2 looks with the group—throwing for 469 backyards, 2 goals and 5 interceptions while taking 9 sacks. He was bad adequate on Sunday to be benched in favor of Nick Mullens, which mostlikely avoided the Vikings from losing a 3rd straight videogame, or at least givingin to an humiliating scoreless tie versus the Raiders.

Mullens led the group to the just scoring drive of the videogame, a field objective with under 2 minutes staying in the 4th quarter.
