Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Intends to play Sunday
Jefferson (ankle) said Wednesday that he's aiming to play Sunday at New Orleans, Kevin Seifert of ESPN reports.
Coach Kevin O'Connell provided an update on Jefferson earlier Wednesday, saying the wide receiver "is doing well" and will be limited to begin Week 5 prep. Jefferson's ensuing activity level indeed was limited, but per the player himself he wants to play against the Saints as a native of Louisiana. The Vikings will take the situation "day by day," and his listing on Friday's practice report may be telling for his odds to suit up this weekend.

Vikings' Justin Jefferson: To be limited Wednesday
Coach Kevin O'Connell said Jefferson (ankle) "is doing well" and will be a limited practice participant Wednesday.
This will mark Jefferson's first on-field work since he suffered a sprained left ankle in the second quarter of a Week 3 win at Tampa Bay. Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reported Saturday morning that the Vikings are hopeful that Jefferson will return to action in Week 5, and his ability to practice in any capacity Wednesday is a step in that direction.

Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Aiming to return Week 5
Jefferson (ankle) has been already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, but the Vikings are hopeful that the superstar wide receiver will return for Week 5 against the Saints, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
Jefferson was removed from the Vikings' Week 3 win over the Buccaneers due to an ankle injury. Additional tests showed a minor ankle sprain for the seventh-year pro, and while he won't play Sunday, a return to practice during Week 5 prep would put Jefferson on track to play against New Orleans. Jordan Addison, Jauan Jennings and tight end T.J. Hockenson will be Kyler Murray's top targets against Miami in Jefferson's absence.

Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Ruled out for Week 4
Jefferson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Dolphins.
Jefferson wasn't able to practice this week due to the ankle injury that forced him out of this past Sunday's win at Tampa Bay. His next chance to suit up will be Sunday, Oct. 11 at New Orleans, but considering the Vikings have a Week 6 bye, the team could exercise caution with its top wide receiver with the second half of the campaign in mind. In any case, Jordan Addison is poised to serve as Minnesota's top pass catcher in the short term, with fellow WR Jauan Jennings, TE T.J. Hockenson and RB Aaron Jones likely next up for targets from QB Kyler Murray.

Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Remains absent Friday
Jefferson (ankle) remained absent from Friday's practice, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
Jefferson hasn't practiced at all this week after twisting his ankle seven snaps into last Sunday's game against the Bucs. It's looking likely that Jefferson will now miss Week 4 against Miami. If so, Jordan Addison, Jauan Jennings and Tai Felton should see the bulk of the wideout snaps for the Vikings.

Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Still not practicing
Jefferson (ankle) officially didn't participate in Thursday's practice.
Jefferson has yet to log any on-field reps since suffering an ankle injury in the first half of this past Sunday's win at Tampa Bay. He thus will have just one more chance to mix into drills Friday, at which point he'll likely receive a game designation ahead of a Week 4 matchup with the Dolphins.

Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Not spotted by reporters Thursday
Jefferson (ankle) didn't participate in the portion of practice open to reporters Thursday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
Jefferson appears to be sitting out a second consecutive practice, though confirmation on that front will come later once the Vikings publish Thursday's practice report. Minnesota's brass previously expressed optimism that Jefferson could be available Sunday against the Dolphins after exiting the Week 3 win over Tampa Bay due to a sprained ankle, but Jefferson has yet to take any concrete steps toward returning. The star wide receiver will likely need to practice in some capacity Friday to maintain any hope of suiting up Sunday.

Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Not practicing, day-to-day
Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said that Jefferson (ankle) won't practice Wednesday and is viewed as day-to-day.
Jefferson sprained his left ankle in the second quarter of the Vikings' Week 3 win over the Buccaneers, with the injury sidelining him for the entire second half. Though follow-up imaging on his ankle came back clean, Jefferson's status for Sunday's game against the Dolphins remains uncertain. He may need to get back on the practice field in some capacity by Friday in order for the Vikings and fantasy managers to feel good about his chances of suiting up this weekend.

Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Imaging on ankle returns clean
Jefferson was diagnosed Monday with a sprained left ankle following an MRI, and the Vikings are hopeful that he'll be able to play Sunday versus the Dolphins, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Jefferson missed the final two quarters of this past Sunday's 23-16 win over the Buccaneers after injuring the ankle, but head coach Kevin O'Connell downplayed any major concern afterward, noting that he considered having the star wideout check back in "a couple times" during the second half. The receiver's imaging a day later ruled out any long-term concern with the ankle, and though his practice activity could be managed to some degree during the upcoming week, he has a chance to avoid missing any further game action.

Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Nearly came back in after hurting ankle
Jefferson (ankle) "got close a couple times" to returning to Sunday's 23-16 win over the Buccaneers, head coach Kevin O'Connell said after the game, Ben Goessling of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Jefferson sustained an ankle injury in the first half and was ultimately ruled out for the remainder of the game after catching both of his early targets for 32 yards. The Vikings held on without their star receiver to improve to 3-0 heading into a Week 4 home game against the Dolphins. Jefferson's ankle injury will be evaluated further, but O'Connell sounded optimistic that Jefferson may not face much, if any, additional missed time.

Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Won't return Sunday
Jefferson has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game in Tampa Bay due to an ankle injury.
Per the Red Zone broadcast, there was no footage of the play or stretch of time in which Jefferson may have been injured, but an ankle issue won't allow him to retake the field for Week 3 action. He thus will finish Sunday's matchup with two catches on as many targets for 32 yards. Jordan Addison will handle No. 1 WR duties for as long as Jefferson is sidelined.
