Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is O.K. after getting banged up in Saturday’s win over the Colts, coach Kevin O’Connell said. However, the Vikings coach is clearly unhappy about the hits Jefferson is taking.
O’Connell said he believes opponents have been hitting Jefferson in ways that don’t seem like typical football plays, per Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
“I think it’s about the fifth or sixth week in a row he took a type of hit that drew a flag,” he said. “Clearly, there’s an emphasis on the teams we’re playing that some of those hits, they don’t just seem to be by accident at times.
