The Vikings won’t play this week, but the stage is set for them to have wide receiver Justin Jefferson back in the lineup when they return from their bye week.
Jefferson hurt his hamstring in October and has missed the last seven games while on injured reserve. He returned to practice on November 8 and has been listed as questionable to play the last couple of weeks without being put back on the active roster.
That will change Tuesday. The Vikings announced that they will be activating Jefferson, which is no surprise because they need to do so before his 21-day practice window closes and he becomes ineligible to return to the field at any point this season.
The Vikings will return to action on December 10 against the Raiders and getting Jefferson back would boost their chances of getting a win in that contest.
