That isn’t the wind howling outside, it’s the collective sigh of relief blowing through Minnesota after Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell delivered good news after wide receiver Justin Jefferson was taken to a hospital with a chest injury Sunday in Las Vegas.

“Justin Jefferson and his chest injury, out of precaution, did go to a local hospital and get some procedural tests done. Just to rule out any possible internal complications that could come from a hit like that,” O’Connell said Monday, less than 24 hours after Jefferson was injured in Minnesota’s 3-0 win over the Raiders.

“All of which we’re able to rule out any of those things and I consider Justin day-to-day with a good chance to hopefully be with us playing on Saturday in Cincinnati.”

Jefferson was hit hard in his back after reaching up to catch a high pass from Josh Dobbs over the middle of the field in the second quarter. He went to the sideline, the blue medical tent, the locker room and then to a local hospital for evaluation.
