MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson said he’ll play this week at Cincinnati without restriction. Jefferson missed seven games with a hamstring injury before a hard hit to the chest last week forced him out in Las Vegas. He was sent to the hospital for precautionary testing and cleared of any serious conditions. Jefferson watched the game on his phone with the sirens blaring on his ride to the hospital. He said he was scared but still confident he would’ve been fine to return to the field. Jefferson has 598 receiving yards in 5½ games.
