The incident occurred during Sunday’s game, where Jefferson, initially cleared of hamstring issues, became the unfortunate recipient of what’s often termed a ‘hospital pass.’ This risky maneuver led to a significant hit to his chest and right flank. Such an impact raises concerns about potential damage to critical areas like the kidneys, lungs, and liver. Fortunately, after thorough checks, Jefferson could fly back home with the team.

While Jefferson is expected to recover and continue playing, the Vikings are not taking any chances. In light of this event, it appears Nick Mullens will be stepping in to throw passes to Jefferson in the upcoming games. This change might adjust the team’s dynamics and strategies significantly.
