Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after leaving in the first half with an ankle injury. He finished with two catches for 32 yards, and it was unclear how he was hurt. Jordan Addison and tight end T.J. Hockenson were expected to take on larger roles in Minnesota’s passing game. Jefferson’s exit added another disruption for the Vikings’ offense, with quarterback Kyler Murray also recently returning from a concussion.
