Vikings Final Injury Report: Justin Jefferson’s status highlight multiple players with designations vs. Dolphins
Three days after Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson suffered an ankle injury, we got an update on his status going into Sunday.
The Minnesota Vikings are 3-0 going into their second home game of the season against the Miami Dolphins.
Seeing an undefeated team go against an only defeated team this early in the season isn’t that much of a surprise. It will be interesting to see what this game will look like, especially with the Dolphins being in year one of a rebuild.
The biggest question has been at wide receiver with both teams having starters on the injury report. Here’s the final report ahead of Sunday’s game.
Minnesota Vikings Friday injury report
| Player | Injury | W/T/F | Designation |
| WR Justin Jefferson | Ankle | DNP/DNP/DNP | Out |

| ILB Blake Cashman | Elbow | Limited/Limited/Full | — |
| LT Christian Darrisaw | NIR/Rest | None/None/DNP | — |
| S Harrison Smith | NIR/REst | None/None/Limited |
Observations
- It shouldn’t be a surprise that Justin Jefferson will miss Sunday’s game against the Dolphins. They have been historically cautious with Jefferson
- Not having either Demmings or Thorson isn’t much of a surprise, as they are both battling hamstring injuries.

| WR Caleb Douglas | Ankle | DNP/DNP/DNP | Out |
| LS Tucker Addington | Shoulder | Limited/Limited/Limited | — |
| WR Chris Bell | Knee | Limited/Limited/Full | — |

| S Dante Trader | Groin | Full/Full/Full | — |
| TE Seydou Traore | Thumb | Full/Full/Full | — |
| EDGE Josh Uche | Foot | Full/Full/Full | — |
Observations
- Douglas missing the game makes it more likely that Chris Bell will have a good game.
- DeVon Achane is also going to miss the game, as the Dolphins put him on injured reserve with a torn ACL earlier this week.
- The long snapper being on the report is worth watching. If he gets hit wrong, that could put a wrench into things.
- Jaylen Wright playing is huge for the Dolphins offense.
