The Minnesota Vikings are placing former LSU Tigers wide receiver Justin Jefferson on the injured reserve with an injured hamstring.  That means Jefferson will miss at least the next four games.  He injured it against the Kansas City Chiefs, slipping on the US Bank turf.

In 2019 for the National Champion LSU Tigers, Jefferson teamed up with Cincinnati Bengals wideout to make up one of the most lethal receiving tandems in college football history.

Jefferson will miss games Bears, San Francisco, Green Bay and Atlanta.  If he’s not fully healed by then, he could miss the Viking Week 10 game against the New Orleans Saints.
