The Minnesota Vikings were forced to make some difficult roster decisions this week. All-Everything receiver Justin Jefferson injured his hamstring in Sunday’s frustrating loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Through five games, there’s been a season of frustrations. Jefferson was placed on injured reserve. He’ll miss, at least, the next four games. A back issue also forced backup quarterback Nick Mullens to injured reserve. In corresponding moves, practice squad receivers N’Keal Harry and Trishton Jackson were promoted to the active roster. A couple familiar players were signed to the practice squad. Sean Mannion will provide veteran quarterback depth behind rookie Jaren Hall. Receiver Dan Chisena will provide some receiver and special teams depth. Tight end Troy Fumagalli was also signed.
Here’s to the quick and complete return of Justin Jefferson to the Vikings active roster.
