Justin Jefferson practiced for the first time in 25 days as he recovers from a strained left hamstring. He had previously missed seven games due to hamstring issues. During his return, he participated in warmups and individual drills but sat out team practices. Although he won't play in the preseason finale against the Tennessee Titans, he is expected to start in Week 1 against the Chicago Bears. His recovery has been carefully managed by the Vikings to ensure he is fit to return to the field.
I'm a kid at heart. I want to be out here with the guys. I want to be playing football and I want to be in the mix.
It's not fun just working out with yourself and competing with yourself. So it is definitely tough at times mentally.
The Vikings' approach to Jefferson's recovery follows a careful strategy due to his history with injuries, emphasizing his gradual return to practice.
Jefferson remains on track to start their Week 1 game at the Chicago Bears, offering hope for a depleted receiving corps.
