Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who is returning after a seven-game absence due to a right hamstring injury, has set a new goal of reaching 1,000 receiving yards for the season. Jefferson had a strong start to the season, averaging an NFL-high 135.8 yards per game in the first four weeks. However, he has been stuck at 571 yards since suffering the injury in Week 5. Despite not being able to break the NFL record for receiving yards in a season, Jefferson is determined to end every year with over 1,000 yards.
