Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson has been ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders due to a chest injury he suffered early in the second quarter. He was transported to a local hospital for precaution, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jefferson finished with two receptions for 27 yards in his first game back since being out the last seven games due to a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n
Jefferson was injured while making an impressive 15-yard catch down the middle of the field. Raiders safety Marcus Epps delivered a perfectly-timed hit as Jefferson came down with the ball.<\/p>\n
The Vikings’ star wideout writhed on the ground before heading to the sideline and into the blue medical tent for evaluation. The game was tied at zero upon Jefferson’s exit.<\/p>\n
The All-Pro wideout has 36 receptions for 571 yards and three touchdowns in five game splayed in 2023.<\/p>\n
