Last night, we officially started Jeffersonwatch, with the Minnesota Vikings’ star receiver finally being eligible to return from injured reserve.
And now, this afternoon, Jeffersonwatch is over.
The Vikings have announced that Jefferson has, officially, been designated to return from injured reserve and that he will return to practice today. It’s important to keep in mind that this does not necessarily mean that Jefferson will be ready to return to the lineup for this Sunday’s game at U.S. Bank Stadium against the New Orleans Saints.
By designating Jefferson to return from injured reserve, the team has opened up a 21-day window for Jefferson’s return to the roster.
