According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the Minnesota Vikings do not expect wide receiver Justin Jefferson to return from his hamstring injury this week. Jefferson has missed the past four games and will likely need at least one more week of recovery time. This opens up opportunities for other Vikings pass catchers, although they will face a tougher matchup against the Saints compared to last week's game against the Falcons.

• Justin Jefferson is unlikely to play in the upcoming game due to his hamstring injury.
• Other Vikings pass catchers will have increased opportunities in Jefferson's absence.
• The Vikings face a tougher matchup against the Saints compared to their previous game against the Falcons.
