Justin Jefferson participated in his first Vikings practice on Thursday since straining his right hamstring on Oct. 8. The receiver said he will continue with a deliberate plan to make sure he's 100% recovered and at a low risk of re-injuring his hamstring before he returns to a game.
To the 2022 NFL offensive player of the year, the idea of sitting out the rest of the season with the injury was never a consideration, though.
Jefferson called it a "no-brainer" he would return this season, dismissing the notion he would skip the remainder of the season with the injury.
