With a 9-2 record heading into Week 13, the Minnesota Vikings sit pretty in the NFC North behind the Detroit Lions. While they have the Green Bay Packers breathing down their necks at nine wins, the Vikings' playoff chances are a comfortable 97.94% as we approach the business end of the season.
This week, the Vikings will chase their 10th win of the season when they kick off Sunday's slate of games against the Arizona Cardinals. The Vikings have more than a few injury issues to deal with for Week 13. However, star wide receiver Justin Jefferson isn't one of them. The electric young playmaker didn't pop up on the Vikings' injury report.
Is Justin Jefferson playing today vs the Cardinals?
Considering Jefferson wasn't on the injury report all week, there is no concern regarding his availability for this game. However, Jefferson had a less-than-eventful afternoon in Week 12 where he hauled in just two of his five targets for 27 yards. Under Jonathan Gannon, the team's defense hasn't exactly been a lockdown unit.
