Vikings opt for caution and keep Jefferson out again in ugly 12-10 loss to Bears

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:00:52 GMT

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings took the cautious route by ruling All-Pro wide receiver Justin Jefferson out ahead of the game, his seventh straight game on the sideline with a strained hamstring.For the first time during his absence, the 2022 NFL Offensive Player of the Year was badly missed.Joshua Dobbs threw four interceptions as the Vikings had just 242 total yards in a 12-10 loss to the Chicago Bears on Monday night. After listing Jefferson as questionable on the final scheduled injury report for the third straight week, he was officially downgraded to out about four hours before kickoff.Jefferson returned to practice on Nov. 8, but with Minnesota’s bye on the schedule this weekend, the opportunity to give him extra time to heal clearly was appealing. If Jefferson were not activated from injured reserve for some reason by next week, he’d be ineligible to play the rest of the season. The Vikings next play Dec. 10 at Las Vegas.“He was close tonight,” coach Kevin O’...
