According to Adam Schefter, Jefferson suffered a “sprained AC joint” and the team believes that he’ll be just fine.
Vikings’ WE Justin Jefferson, who left practice today grabbing his left shoulder after he fell to the ground, has a sprained AC joint, per source. “Nothing serious,” per source, but there will be further testing this weekend.

Seeing as how Justin Jefferson is one of the best players Minnesota has and is a lethal receiving option, the Vikings should be very happy this situation wasn’t worse.
If he got knocked out for an extended period of time, Kirk Cousins would have had major trouble in the passing game.
Oh no. Justin Jefferson goes down hard and grabs at his shoulder/collar bone. The #Vikings WR heads back into the lockerroom right after @kare11 #kare11sports pic.twitter.com/8vcescBMip

Thankfully for Minnesota, it was more or less a bad stinger that shouldn’t prevent him from playing when it matters. Vikings fans can breathe easy for the time being!
