Justin Jefferson: “The plan is for me to play. But who knows?”

It was definitely a change of pace to see Justin Jefferson genuinely geeking out about playing with Odell Beckham Jr.

[Kevin Seifert @SeifertESPN]

Justin Jefferson on playing Sunday in New Orleans: "Hopefully so. That's definitely the plan. Being back at home, being in Louisiana, is definitely something that I want to do. So the plan is for me to play, but who knows? We going to take it day by day."

[Kevin Seifert @SeifertESPN]

Odell Beckham Jr jokes that he chose No. 9 because Justin Jefferson got half of his game from him. Jefferson wears No. 18.

No Christian Darrisaw, as expected….

[Minnesota Vikings @Vikings]

The #Vikings have released their first injury report of Week 5.

Justin Jefferson: The plan is definitely to play Sunday, but who knows?

He said he really wants to play in New Orleans, as a native of Louisiana.

As Season 4 of @TedLasso wraps up today, it closes a chapter dedicated to women's soccer.

The global hit made a pivot and didn't look back.

"It was like, OK, well to come back, it has to be for some other reason," @jasonsudeikis told me about going from men's soccer to women's.

I talked with @brendanhunting, @hanwaddingham, @schuerta, @meredithspeck25 and @nealymartin, among others, and took a deep dive into Ted Lasso's move to the women's game, and what a show with its stature can do for the sport and the @NWSL, in particular.

The NFL and NFLPA clarify that drinking celebrations will not result in discipline moving forward.

Odell Beckham Jr. is at Vikings practice today.

And so is Justin Jefferson.

Updated story on the Vikings signing Odell Beckham Jr. to their practice squad, with comments from Kevin O’Connell on the possibility of him playing Sunday in New Orleans.

[Kevin Seifert @SeifertESPN]

Beckham participated in walk-through this morning and will practice today, O'Connell said.

[Kevin Seifert @SeifertESPN]

Kevin O’Connell says he thinks Odell Beckham Jr. can get ramped up quickly and be available Sunday in New Orleans if needed.

Justin Jefferson (ankle) will participate in practice on a limited basis today.

Jordan Addison will sit out practice with soreness, per Kevin O’Connell, who calls the situation “minor.”

Helps explain the Beckham Jr signing.

First look at OBJ in Vikings gear 🔥

He'll wear No. 9 on the practice squad according to the team's website.

Vikings sign Odell Beckham Jr. to their practice squad as Justin Jefferson works through his ankle injury and Jauan Jennings sits at 2 receptions on 4 targets in 3 games.

Odell Beckham since winning the Super Bowl with Kevin O'Connell and the Rams in 2021:

2022: 0 catches
2023: 35 catches
2024: 9 catches
2025: 0 catches
2026: 0 catches

Align your expectations accordingly.

[Kevin Seifert @SeifertESPN]

I have wondered for years if Kevin O'Connell would want to re-connect with Beckham after their time together with the Rams. Here's the answer...

Vikings are signing veteran WR Odell Beckham Jr. to their practice squad, as @Schultz_Report reported.

[Kevin Seifert @SeifertESPN]

Many similar responses to the question of whether NFL players, coaches and officials will all be disciplined for acting unprofessionally to one another. If they are not the "same thing," are we just acknowledging that it's OK/part of the game to treat officials that way?

[Case Winter @Casewinter13]

@SeifertESPN Those are not the same thing and it's pretty concerning that you don't know the obvious difference

[Kevin Seifert @SeifertESPN]

The Vikings are the eighth-worst 4-0 team this century, via DVOA.

BUT, writes @ASchatzNFL: "The good news is that plenty of teams have ridden a suspect 4-0 start all the way to the Super Bowl."

[Aaron Schatz 🏈 @ASchatzNFL]

I wrote for ESPN about early-season historic DVOA for the 49ers and other teams. Who is particularly good or bad given their current record?

I agree with the NFL that punishments were warranted. I also agree with the NFLRA that the punishments were excessive.
