Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell shared an update regarding the status of Justin Jefferson on Monday.

Jefferson had 137 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings’ 23-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. He caught a 97-yard touchdown pass from Sam Darnold. But Jefferson left the game in the third quarter due to a leg injury that was later termed a thigh contusion .

On Monday, O’Connell said that Jefferson was “feeling pretty good” that day. Jefferson is regarded as day-to-day.

Jefferson himself had said on Sunday that he was not too concerned with the injury.

The status of Jordan Addison is a different story. Addison suffered an ankle injury in Week 1 and missed the team’s Week 2 game. O’Connell indicated the team will try to be cautious with their No. 2 receiver this week.

The 2-0 Vikings will face the Texans in Week 3.
