Justin Jefferson Injury: Not in line to play Saturday

Jefferson (hamstring) is not slated to play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Texans.

No surprise here, given that Jefferson is managing a mild left hamstring strain that he sustained July 24. It remains to be seen if the wideout is a candidate to play in the Vikings' Aug. 16 preseason contest against the Patriots, but there's little incentive for him to be rushed back into game action, with his Week 1 availability remaining the priority here.
