Head coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that the Vikings have no concern about Jefferson's availability for Sunday's game against the Packers after the receiver jammed a finger on his right hand in a Week 3 win over the Texans, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The jammed finger may have contributed to the drop that Jefferson had on one of his two targets in the second half of the 34-7 win over the Texans, though he produced well enough in the first two quarters (six catches for 81 yards and a touchdown on six targets) to satisfy fantasy managers. While Jefferson was sent for X-rays after the game, the scans revealed no fractures to any of his fingers. He may be dealing with some discomfort, but the issue shouldn't affect his playing time and usage in Week 4.

Jefferson caught six of eight targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-7 win over the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

It looked like the superstar wideout was headed for a huge day when he hauled in a six-yard TD strike from Sam Darnold on the Vikings' first drive, but the quarterback wound up spreading the ball around and finding four different players for his four touchdown passes. Jefferson still has a three-game TD streak to begin the season, and his eight targets Sunday were surprisingly a season high so far. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 4 against the Packers.

Jefferson (quadriceps) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Houston, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Jefferson (quadriceps) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Jefferson (quadriceps) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Meanwhile, fellow wide receiver Jordan Addison didn't practice at all, instead rehabbing his sore right ankle on a side field. 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 a designation for him ahead of a Week 3 matchup with the Texans.

Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Wednesday that Jefferson (quadriceps) was able to go through the team's walkthrough, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Connell has called Jefferson "day-to-day" due to a right quad bruise sustained during Minnesota's 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 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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Following Sunday's win over the 49ers, Jefferson downplayed the bruised right quadriceps that he sustained during the contest, Kevin Seifert of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

"I'm not seriously injured," Jefferson noted 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." For his part, when discussing the star wideout's quad issue, coach Kevin O'Connell said, "it's pretty sore....(but) he's already up and moving, and we'll just treat that thing and hopefully he'll be day-to-day, and we'll see how his status looks for next week." In any case, added context regarding Jefferson's Week 3 status (versus Houston) will arrive no later than Wednesday when the Vikings return to practice.

Coach Kevin O'Connell said after Sunday's 23-17 win against the 49ers that Jefferson suffered a bruised quadriceps in the contest, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

On the play that precipitated his departure late in the third quarter, Jefferson took a hit to his upper right leg that caused him to stay on the turf for a bit before going to the sideline tent and then locker room. O'Connell told Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com that Jefferson is "pretty sore," and "hopefully" the wide receiver will be day-to-day. As a result, Jefferson's status will be one to monitor closely as the Vikings gear up for a Week 3 matchup with the Texans next Sunday, especially with fellow wide receiver Jordan Addison sitting out Week 2 with a sore right ankle.
