Minnesota wide receiver Justin Jefferson will miss the game against Miami with a sprained left ankle, with coach Kevin O'Connell hopeful he can play in Week 5.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson will not play in the team's upcoming game against the Miami Dolphins because of a sprained left ankle, according to a report.
Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said he is hopeful that Jefferson will be able to return in Week 5, when Minnesota is scheduled to face the New Orleans Saints.
Jefferson's absence removes one of the league's most productive receivers from Minnesota's offense for the game against Miami.
The report did not specify when the ankle injury occurred or provide additional details on the severity of the sprain beyond the expected timeline for his return.
The Vikings will need to adjust their offensive game plan against the Dolphins without their top target, before a potential return to the lineup in the following week's matchup against the Saints.
