The Minnesota Vikings are expected to place wide receiver Justin Jefferson on injured reserve (IR) due to a hamstring injury he suffered during Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. This means Jefferson will miss at least the next four games. The news was confirmed by sources and first reported by NFL Network. It is a significant loss for the Vikings, and rookie wide receiver Jordan Addison is expected to have an increased workload in Jefferson's absence. The team has not provided a specific timeline for Jefferson's return, but he is expected to be out for at least a month or more.
