EAGAN, Minn. — The Vikings concluded their Week 4 practice slate Friday in advance of hosting the Dolphins at 3:05 p.m. (CT) Sunday in a game that will air on FOX.
Vikings Head Coach Kevin O'Connell ruled out receiver Justin Jefferson (ankle), cornerback Chuck Demmings (hamstring) and punter Brett Thorson (right hamstring).
Jefferson and Demmings suffered their injuries in Week 3 at Tampa Bay. Thorson suffered the injury to his punting leg in Week 2 at Chicago.
O'Connell said Wednesday he considers Jefferson "day-to-day" but added the team will not rush Jefferson back before he's at "a certain place where we feel like he can go be himself."
Linebacker Blake Cashman (elbow) was the only other player on the report because of an injury. He did not receive a designation and is expected to be available for the game.
