Vikings' Justin Jefferson Suffers Quad Injury

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson suffered a quad contusion during the team's 23-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers, exiting the game in the third quarter. Head coach Kevin O'Connell expressed optimism that the injury is not serious, indicating Jefferson is day-to-day and may be ready for the upcoming game against the Houston Texans. Jefferson had a standout performance before his injury, recording four catches for 132 yards, including a remarkable 97-yard touchdown. The injury raises concerns for the Vikings, especially with fellow receiver Jordan Addison also sidelined due to an ankle injury. Jefferson's potential absence could significantly impact the team's offense as they navigate the remainder of the season with Sam Darnold at quarterback. Further updates on Jefferson's status are expected in the coming days.
