Justin Jefferson, the second year star Vikings wide receiver, appears to land hard on his left shoulder after attempting a catch. By limited video from beat reporters, it appears he may have suffered an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder. It does not appear to be a shoulder dislocation, rotator cuff or labral issue which would require an extended stay off the field. Jefferson indeed could miss time this preseason, but at this point we do not think this injury will leak into the regular season. More details will emerge but expect him to be available Week 1 versus the Cincinnati Bengals.
