Justin Jefferson News
Thursday, October 1, 11:54 AM
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (ankle) was not practicing during the open portion of Thursday's session, according to Kevin Seifert of ESPN. Jefferson also sat out Wednesday as he works back from the left ankle sprain that knocked him out of last week's win over Tampa Bay. Head coach Kevin O'Connell has called him day-to-day and said the Vikings won't put Jefferson back on the field until he can play like himself. The star receiver has 13 catches for 179 yards and two touchdowns through three games. Minnesota has not ruled him out for Sunday against Miami, but another day without visible practice work keeps his Week 4 status very much up in the air.

DeVonta Smith News
Thursday, October 1, 5:08 PM
There is "not much optimism" surrounding Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith's (hamstring) current health, and the "expectation is he won't be able to go" in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Rams, per Tim McManus of ESPN. Smith has yet to practice this week as he battles a hamstring injury. The 27-year-old played through the hamstring issue in Week 3 against the Chicago Bears, but it appears that the injury has gotten worse in the last few days. Smith has gotten off to a strong start to the 2026 season as the focal point of the Eagles' passing game, recording 19 catches for 235 yards and a touchdown on 27 targets. If Smith is unable to play against the Rams, Eagles wideouts Dontayvion Wicks and Makai Lemon would likely see increased usage.
