Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Modest numbers in Week 7 win
Jefferson caught four of seven targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Colts.
The targets and receiving yards actually led the Vikings in a low-scoring defensive battle, but it was T.J. Hockenson on the other end of Kyler Murray's only TD pass. Jefferson is still looking for his first 100-yard performance of the season, and he's been held under 60 yards in three of his five games. The star wideout could be poised to finally break out in Week 8 against the Lions' struggling secondary.

Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Logs full practice Thursday
Jefferson (ankle) practiced in full Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Jefferson's upgrade from limited Wednesday to uncapped one day later indicates that the ankle injury that has bothered him since the middle of a Week 3 win at Tampa Bay is behind him. He'll be taking on a Colts defense Sunday that has allowed the 10th-most yards per target (8.6) to opposing wide receivers this season.

Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Remains limited by ankle issue
Jefferson (ankle) was a limited at Wednesday's practice.
Despite having the benefit of a Week 6 bye, Jefferson appears to be dealing with the ankle injury that he suffered in Week 3 and forced inactive status in Week 4 before he suited up in Week 5 at New Orleans, when he hauled in six of seven targets for 79 yards and one touchdown. Meanwhile, fellow WR Jordan Addison (hamstring) practiced fully Wednesday, meaning Jefferson has a bit of work to do to get the top of the Vikings' receiving corps back to 100 percent.

Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Paces pass catchers in homecoming
Jefferson (ankle) brought in six of seven targets for 79 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for minus-11 yards in the Vikings' 23-13 win over the Saints on Sunday. He also committed a fumble that remained with Minnesota.
Making his return from a one-game absence due to an ankle injury, Jefferson capitalized on an opportunity to perform in front of his home-state crowd. The perennial Pro Bowler was expected to be busy due to Jordan Addison's (hamstring) inactive status, and Jefferson ultimately led the Vikings across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The veteran receiver added his first touchdown since Week 1 when he recorded an impressive 15-yard scoring grab in the back corner of the end zone to cap off the first possession of the second half, and Jefferson will next set his sights on a vulnerable Colts defense in a Week 7 home matchup on Sunday, Oct. 25 following a Week 6 bye.

Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Back in action Sunday
Jefferson (ankle) is listed as active Sunday at New Orleans.
Jefferson thus is set for his first in-game action since the second quarter of a Week 3 win in Tampa Bay, when he initially picked up a left ankle injury. After sitting out last Sunday versus the Dolphins, he logged three limited sessions during Week 5 prep, and with his status confirmed for Sunday, there's a good chance he serves as the top pass catcher for QB Kyler Murray with fellow WR Jordan Addison (hamstring) inactive, even if Jefferson can't handle a full workload.

Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Listed questionable for Sunday
Jefferson (ankle) will go through a pregame workout before the Vikings make a decision on his availability for Sunday's contest at New Orleans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Jefferson hasn't played a snap since injuring his left ankle in the second quarter of a Week 3 win at Tampa Bay, but he relayed to Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com on Wednesday that he was determined to suit up for a game in his home state of Louisiana. Limited practices Wednesday through Friday left Jefferson questionable for Week 5 action, and the upcoming workout will determine whether or not he's included among Minnesota's inactives about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. The same cane be said for fellow WR Jordan Addison (hamstring), which will leave the receiving corps particularly short-handed if both of them are sidelined.

Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Status in question for Week 5
Jefferson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at New Orleans.
The same can be said for fellow WR Jordan Addison (hamstring). Jefferson himself is looking to miss just one game due to an ankle injury that he picked up in a Week 3 win at Tampa Bay, and his status will be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Vikings' Justin Jefferson: At practice Friday
Jefferson (ankle) and Jordan Addison (hamstring) were at practice Friday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN reports.
It's unclear if either wide receiver was a full participant, but this does suggest that both have a chance to play Sunday in New Orleans.

Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Another limited session
Jefferson (ankle) was limited at practice Thursday.
Jefferson initially injured his ankle in the middle of a Week 3 win at Tampa Bay and missed this past Sunday's game against the Dolphins. So far this week, he's logged back-to-back capped sessions, and Friday's practice report may provide some clarity regarding whether or not a return to action Sunday in New Orleans is possible. For what it's worth, Jefferson told Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com on Wednesday that he wants to play this weekend as a native of Louisiana, but ultimately it'll be a team decision regarding his status.
