Justin Jefferson Returns to Practice Ahead of Saints Matchup

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson returned to practice as a limited participant Wednesday after missing a game with a sprained left ankle. Jefferson expressed strong optimism and intentions to play Sunday against the New Orleans Saints in his home state of Louisiana. The team plans to take his recovery day-by-day, bolstered by the practice squad addition of veteran receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who shares a long-standing family history with Jefferson from their LSU days.
