The Vikings will not have their top receiver when they play the Dolphins on Sunday.
Head coach Kevin O’Connell announced in his Friday press conference that Justin Jefferson is out after suffering an ankle injury in last week’s win over the Buccaneers.
Jefferson did not practice all week.
In three games so far this season, Jefferson has 13 catches for 179 yards with two touchdowns.
Additionally, Charles Demmings (hamstring) and punter Brett Thorson (right hamstring) have also been ruled out.
O’Connell said Johnny Hekker will be elevated from the practice squad to punt on Sunday.
