Minnesota Vikings star wide receiver left Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers after making an impressive play earlier in the match. With less than a minute left in the third quarter, Jefferson went down following a hit to his leg by a 49ers defender. He was assisted off the field by the Vikings’ training staff and later walked to the locker room for further evaluation. The team later reported that he exited the game due to a quad injury.
Jefferson’s injury could have significant implications for the Vikings’ 2024 season, but it’s a good sign that he was able to walk off the field without needing a cart. If the injury had been more severe, such as a tear or strain, he likely wouldn’t have been able to walk on his own.
Following the game, head coach Kevin O’Connell provided an update, stating that Jefferson had suffered a quad contusion and was listed as day-to-day. There’s hope that he could be back in time for next Sunday’s game, easing some concerns from fans who feared the worst when he left the game.
