Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Avoids final injury report
Jefferson (quadriceps) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Houston, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
As promised by the man himself, Jefferson will be out there Sunday as the Vikings try for a surprising 3-0 start. Fellow wideout Jordan Addison (ankle) has been ruled out, but coach Kevin O'Connell told Goessling on Friday that Addison should have a good chance to return Week 4 against Green Bay.

Vikings' Justin Jefferson: No concern for Week 3 availability
Jefferson (quadricep) remained a limited participant in practice Thursday for the second day in a row, but he said afterward that he "for sure" plans to play Sunday against the Texans, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
Jefferson is tending to a bruised right quad in the aftermath of Sunday's win over the 49ers, but he said his body feels "great," and he's continuing to work with the Minnesota training staff to ensure he's in optimal condition by the weekend. A blowout win over the Giants in Week 2 and the injury in Week 2 have played a part in limiting Jefferson to six and seven targets in those respective contests, but he still ranks in the top five in the NFL in both receiving yards (192) and receiving touchdowns (two) through the first two weeks of the season.

Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Limited again Thursday
Jefferson (quadriceps) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Jefferson maintained his activity level from Wednesday's session as he tends to the bruised right quadriceps that he picked up late in the third quarter of this past Sunday's win against the 49ers. Both the wide receiver and coach Kevin O'Connell have expressed optimism in the meantime that the injury isn't serious, but Jefferson now has just one more session this week to prove his health ahead the weekend. In the end, Jefferson appears destined to have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Texans.

Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Logs limited practice Wednesday
Jefferson (quadricep) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday.
Meanwhile, fellow wide receiver Jordan Addison didn't practice at all, instead rehabbing his sore right ankle on a side field. Head coach Kevin O'Connell told Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune earlier Wednesday that the Vikings are hopeful Jefferson will be able to ramp up his activity level as the week goes on, but the quad contusion that he suffered this past Sunday against the 49ers may result in him carrying a designation for a Week 3 matchup with the Texans.

Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Goes through walkthrough
Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Wednesday that Jefferson (quadricep) was able to go through the team's walk-through practice, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
O'Connell has called Jefferson "day-to-day" due to a right quad bruise sustained during the Vikings' win over the 49ers in Week 2. Barring any setbacks in practice, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com notes that the star wide receiver seems to be trending in the right direction to play Sunday versus the Texans. Meanwhile, O'Connell said No. 2 wide receiver Jordan Addison (ankle) is "still in that day-to-day world."

Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Deemed day-to-day
Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that Jefferson (quadriceps) is "day-to-day" and came into team facilities "feeling pretty good," Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
O'Connell seems optimistic about Jefferson's chances of being available Week 3 versus the Texans after the star wide receiver was forced out of Sunday's 23-17 win over the 49ers due to a right quad contusion. Through two games this season, Jefferson has piled up eight catches for 192 yards and two scores on 13 targets, shutting down any concerns about his ability to produce at a high level with Sam Darnold under center. Minnesota should provide another update on Jefferson's status by Wednesday at the latest, when the team's first official injury report of the week will be released.

Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Downplays injury
Jefferson downplayed the bruised right quadricep that he sustained in Sunday's 23-17 win over the 49ers, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports. "I'm not seriously injured," Jefferson said after the game. "So that's the main important thing. So it's just all about getting to the training room, making sure my body is right for next week, and I'll be ready to go next Sunday."
Head coach Kevin O'Connell more or less echoed Jefferson's sentiments, noting that the wideout is "sore" but is "hopefully day-to-day" heading into the Vikings' next game Week 3 versus Houston. Though the Vikings seem optimistic that Jefferson will avoid an absence, he could still have his practice activity monitored carefully this week. The team will provide another update on Jefferson no later than Wednesday, when the Vikings will issue their first Week 3 practice report. Jefferson finished with four catches for 133 yards on seven targets in the Week 2 win, with the bulk of his production coming on a 97-yard catch-and-run for a touchdown in the second quarter.
