Big Names Land on IR: Justin Jefferson, De'Von Achane and Anthony Richardson

Justin Jefferson - Hamstring

Now placed on IR and will miss at least 4 games as Vikings seek multiple opinions on his injured hamstring - suffered right hamstring strain in W5 - slipped on a route despite playing on turf field

De'Von Achane - Right Knee MCL sprain 

Suffered right knee MCL injury W5 - should not need surgery and can run in a straight line, but won't be able to cut and be effective as a RB - IR could be a possibility 

Anthony Richardson - Grade 3 AC Joint Sprain

Officially placed on IR with grade 3 AC joint sprain - return timeline is 4-8 weeks - could have him back in mid-November at earliest - Gardner Minshew will take over as QB in the meantime
