Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (ankle) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
Jefferson's second missed practice was a surprise after Minnesota's star receiver said he would participate on Thursday morning. The 22-year old will likely need at least a limited session on Friday if he is going to suit up against a Carolina Panthers' unit rated third in pass defense per numberFire's power rankings.
Jefferson's current Week 6 projection includes 5.6 receptions for 80.6 yards on 8.5 targets.
