What happened: Justin Jefferson will miss Sunday's game because of a sprained ankle. Minnesota had already been managing the injury after Jefferson left its game in Tampa Bay last week.

Why it matters: The absence keeps the Vikings without their top wide receiver for another game in the middle of the regular season. Minnesota already had to reshape its offense after Jefferson exited in Tampa Bay, and that adjustment now carries into Sunday.

What to watch: The next Vikings injury update will show whether Jefferson has a path back after Sunday. Inactive lists should also clarify how Minnesota reshapes its receiver rotation.
