As of Saturday afternoon, it’s still unclear whether or not Justin Jefferson will play in Monday night’s game against the Bears.
Jefferson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for the Week 12 matchup, head coach Kevin O’Connell told reporters in his press conference.
Jefferson, who is in his 21-day practice window after being designated to return from IR, has been limited in practice this week.
“We know that having Justin Jefferson out there gives us the best chance to win, but the big picture with this player — he means the absolute world to me and this organization — we’re going to do what’s best for him,” head coach Kevin O’Connell said on Saturday.
The Vikings have until Monday afternoon to activate Jefferson for the contest.
Defensive lineman Khyiris Tonga (knee) is also questionable for Monday’s game.
