During a crucial third-down pass play deep in Kansas City territory, Jefferson was hurt while attempting to cut on his route. Unfortunately, he slipped on the grass, and while he gripped onto the back of his right leg, he had to limp slowly to the sideline, clearly in pain. It’s important to note that the Vikings scored a touchdown two plays later.
Justin Jefferson, who had been injured and was deemed “questionable” to return, watched the subsequent drive from the sidelines without a helmet. This outstanding wide receiver has never missed a game throughout his career, earning All-Pro honors and leading the NFL in receptions and yards last season.

Since his debut season, Justin Jefferson has left a lasting impression on the NFL by displaying remarkable talent and breaking numerous records. Notably, his 1,400 receiving yards in 2020 set a league record for the most by a rookie. He earned places in the Pro Bowl and All-Pro roster three times in his first three seasons.
Jefferson is praised for his blazing speed, dexterity, and accurate route-running. Another exceptional quality that makes him an outstanding force on the field is his ability to catch with his hands. He is widely regarded as one of the top young wide receivers in the league and is in a position to anchor the Vikings for many seasons to come.
He is riding the wave of a career-defining performance as he enters his fourth season with the Vikings in 2023. He laid the framework for his continued dominance among NFL wide receivers this season with an amazing 118 grabs for 1,848 yards and 11 touchdowns. He plays a crucial part in directing the Vikings’ offensive plan.
