The impact of Green Bay Packers’ activation of Justin Jefferson off injured reserve.
On Tuesday, the Minnesota Vikings activated wide receiver Justin Jefferson from injured reserve. The Green Bay Packers and other NFL teams will be significantly impacted by this development. After sitting out the Kansas City Chiefs game in Week 5, Jefferson has been sidelined with a hamstring injury.
Week 13 will see Minnesota take a bye week, and Week 14 will see Jefferson return. He has caught 36 passes this season for 571 receiving yards and three touchdowns. This season, Justin Jefferson has been targeted 53 times and is averaging 15.9 yards per reception.
When healthy, he is one of the NFL’s top wide receivers. They are returning him in time for the NFC wild card race. Minnesota’s current season record is 6-6. With a 5-6 record, the Green Bay Packers hold the eighth seed in the NFC. Right up until the very end of the regular season, there will be a close playoff race.
The Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers will play each other on Sunday Night Football on New Year’s Eve for the second time this season. Jefferson did not play in the first game between Minnesota and Green Bay, which Minnesota won. It is highly likely that he will play against the Packers.
When Week 17 comes around, no one knows what will happen. The cornerback situation for the Packers has been absurd the entire season. Despite the fact that Jaire Alexander has been ill the entire season, everyone wanted to see Alexander challenge Jefferson.
Eric Stokes has managed his personal injuries and is attempting to return to the playing field. Prior to the NFL trade deadline, Rasul Douglas was traded to the Buffalo Bills. Recently, Green Bay’s main healthy cornerbacks have been Corey Ballentine, Carrington Valentine, and Kelsean Nixon.
Nonetheless, it’s possible that they will enter the game with the same record come Week 17. It might be a game where both teams are eliminated. In Week 17 of the previous season, the Green Bay Packers faced the Minnesota Vikings with their backs against the wall and prevailed handily. When Justin Jefferson takes on the Packers’ defense then, there will be a lot of drama.
