Jefferson laid flat on his stomach for about a minute before he walked off the field under his own power. On the very next play Kirk Cousins threw a pick-six to to the Colts and the Vikings found themselves trailing 30-0.
The good news its that Jefferson returned a few plays later.
“I’m told it looks like good news. Chest injury for Jefferson. He is probable to return,” NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported.
