Yahoo Sports NFL on Justin Jefferson

ArticleVikings-Dolphins Second Injury ReportOctober 1, 2026

From the article

Justin Jefferson did not practice again, which suggests things are trending toward his not playing on Sunday. My guess is that is this were a playoff game, Jefferson would be playing. But this being the Dolphins week four at home, the Vikings may be cautious with Jefferson and not rush him back.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Jefferson trending toward sitting out; Vikings likely being cautious in week four.

Did not practice Wednesday or Thursday, trending toward not playing Sunday against Miami; source notes this is likely cautious management given the non-playoff context, though he could be active on a pitch count if he practices Friday and feels good.
