I'm sure there is a contingent that says if he's ready? You play him.

I bet they don't though...Not right b4 the bye?

==========================================

Minnesota Vikings star wide receiver Justin Jefferson has an ankle sprain, according to the MRI performed Monday, and there's a chance he'll be able to play Sunday against the visiting Miami Dolphins.

"He avoided anything long term. It's just going to be about progressing throughout the week and where we can get him to from a standpoint of getting the swelling out and then what kind of work week he can have," Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday. "But I was very encouraged to get that news today."

If he can play, they’ll absolutely send him out there.

They literally can’t afford to let K1 lay another turd. Especially after today and especially at US Bank.

They need to everything they can to make sure Kyler is successful at home, or he’s gonna get booed out of the stadium

They have to play Jefferson if he's close to ready. Without him we might score 6 points. It wasn't just Kyler. The other WR's couldn't beat single coverage, and KOC's "what's a checkdown?" play designs left Murray nowhere to go. By the end of the 3rd Kyler looked like he'd given up, was just airmailing balls in the general direction of WR's that he knew when he got the playcall wouldn't be open.

If he doesn't play, I would move someone else up to the WR #2 as Jennings is pretty much useless. They can double Addison as Jennings is no threat to do anything. There was a reason the 49ers had no interest in bringing him back and we were able to get him on the contract that we did. I would put Price and Felton over him.

You need to play him if he's ready. Can't be another offensive stinker at U.S. Bank. Are we sure Kyler has passed concussion protocol? 😉

Someone needs a "Bat Signal" they can shine over the stadium saying "KOC - Run a slant pass you meathead!"

Swear to god the man has never heard of a slant pass. Get it out of the QBs hands quick and let JJ and JA get YAC which they are very capable of doing.

I agree, I thought the bye week was right after Mia, giving him 2 full weeks to heal it.

Smart play would be to shelve him this week, but it'll be a rough 2 weeks if they lay an egg on offense against the "worst team in the league" win or not.

I'd probably expect to see him on a pitch count.

Same as me, I really hope you are correct but my guess is this game is going to be much closer than you assume.
