NFL Rumors: Vikings' Justin Jefferson out 4-6 Weeks with Hamstring Injury

Minnesota Vikings star wide receiver Justin Jefferson will miss the next 4-6 weeks with a hamstring injury, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Vikings announced that they had placed Jefferson on injured reserve this past Wednesday. Jefferson will miss a minimum of four weeks, then he'll undergo testing to determine a timetable for return.
