Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson missed his seventh game with a hamstring injury on Monday.
The Vikings played it safe with Justin Jefferson, placing him in the IR-return window for the full three weeks.
On Tuesday, they made a major move by announcing on Tuesday that they’re activating their All-Pro wide receiver from injured reserve. Jefferson has been sidelined since Week 5 with a hamstring injury.
Jefferson is expected to be 100% after the Week 13 bye.
The 2022 NFL offensive player of the year had caught 36 passes for 571 yards and three touchdowns in five games before he was injured in early October.
Minnesota is 5-2 since losing Jefferson in the second half of a Week-5 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs in Minneapolis.

The two losses have come in the last two games as they lost to the Broncos and Bears.
With the Vikings still alive for an NFC playoff spot, getting Jefferson back is a massive boost for this team. With the Vikings on bye, Jefferson will be back in action against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 14.
