Following his absence from the last seven Vikings games, Justin Jefferson is cleared to return to action on Sunday.
The NFL offensive player of the year, Jefferson, has not played since sustaining a hamstring injury in Week 5 against
the Chiefs. The Vikings were victorious in their first five games without him, but have already lost two straight after
giving up seven field goals and falling short of the Bears and Broncos by a combined three points.
The Vikings’ offense and quarterback Josh Dobbs could benefit greatly from Jefferson’s return against the Raiders in
what is virtually a must-win game for Minnesota’s postseason prospects.
Theo Jackson, a safety, and Ed Ingram, a right guard, are the two Vikings players who are officially labeled as
questionable.
Due to a hip problem, Ingram was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday. Blake Brandel is the next in line if he
is unable to play. Ever since the season began last year, Ingram has not missed a single snap.
The No. 4 safety for the Vikings, Jackson, is struggling with a medical condition. He participates in special teams
play and takes a few defensive snaps. Lewis Cine might get his first defensive snaps since his leg injury from last year
if he is out.
The final injury report for the Raiders is still pending. When it becomes accessible, it will be added here. Maxx
Crosby, a star edge rusher, hasn’t practiced since Friday but is still expected to play.
