We&#8217;ll have an extra day this week,&#8221; the coach said. &#8220;As of right now, I look at him as questionable for the football game (Monday night against the Bears).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Vikings opened the 21-day window for Jefferson to return from injured reserve on Nov. 8, but he remained out the past two games. Minnesota could hold the All-Pro out another contest with a bye coming in Week 13.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s been some real urgency throughout this whole process, but also a mindset on being smart and making sure that he feels as good as possible, as good as we can, to him feeling 100 percent when he comes back,&#8221; O&#8217;Connell said. &#8220;It&#8217;s one of those things that knowing that you have the bye and knowing you have five critical opportunities to come after that bye, we have to be smart. This is a player that means a ton to our organization.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Minnesota saw its five-game win streak sans the receiver snapped in Sunday night&#8217;s loss to the Denver Broncos. The 6-5 Vikings still hold the No. 7 seed in the NFC over a host of 4-6 clubs.<\/p>\n<p>Jefferson could return this week, but Tuesday&#8217;s comments underscore that he won&#8217;t be on the field unless he&#8217;s fully healthy.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/vikings-wr-justin-jefferson-my-health-is-way-more-important-than-you-winning-you\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson missed the past six games with a hamstring injury and has consistently said he wouldn&#8217;t [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":298363,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Vikings WR Justin Jefferson: My health is way more important than you &#x27;winning your fantasy games&#x27;
