BREAKING: Vikings Place WR Justin Jefferson On Injured Reserve With Hamstring Injury

The Minnesota Vikings 2023 season just got a whole lot worse.

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Vikings will place superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury he suffered in Sunday’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

The exact timeline is to be determined based on how Jefferson responds to treatment, Pelissero reports, but going on IR will keep the star wideout out at least four games.
