Vikings' Justin Jefferson strains hamstring, will miss time

EAGAN, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson will miss some time during training camp because of a strained left hamstring, coach Kevin O'Connell said Friday.

Jefferson took himself out of Thursday's practice with about one-third of the session remaining. He said afterwards that he had noticed "tightness" in both legs and didn't want to risk further damage, citing his experience with the torn right hamstring that cost him seven games during the 2023 season. The Vikings sent him for an MRI after practice, and the test showed what O'Connell called a "very mild" strain.
