DONE DEAL: Minnesota Vikings Sign Former 1st-Round WR After Activating Justin Jefferson
Vikings re-sign former 1st round pick WR after activating Justin Jefferson.
The Minnesota Vikings re-sign former 1st round pick WR after activating Justin Jefferson The Minnesota Vikings re-signed former 1st round pick WR after activating Justin Jefferson last week They have re-signed their favorite player, N’Keir Harry.
Harry was released on November 28th and cleared waivers during the bye week, allowing Minnesota to re-sign him to the practice squad on Tuesday, December 4th.
Selected 32nd overall in the 2019 draft by the New England Patriots, Harry shined during the Vikings’ preseason with his intimidating size and speed in a crowded wide receiver room.
The 1.
90m tall, 110kg receiver played in nine games for the Vikings this season.
Veteran Brandon Powell saw the most play in Jefferson’s absence, playing all but five of the 323 offensive snaps starting in Week 5.
During that span, he caught 24 passes for 264 yards and one touchdown (winning the game against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 9).
Vikings’ offense gets a new look with the addition of Justin Jefferson The Vikings’ offense has undergone dramatic changes, adapting not only to the absence of Jefferson but also to the absence of Kirk Cousins.
.
In Sunday’s Week 14 game against the Las Vegas Raiders, Jefferson will start a game without Cousins at quarterback for the second time in his career.
We haven’t decided who this quarterback will be yet.
The Vikings may choose to stick with Josh Dobbs, which would allow Jefferson to improvise with Dobbs’ climbing ability.
Minnesota could also use Nick Mullens, who has a much better fit with Cousins on the Vikings’ offensive line.
Regardless of who throws the ball, Jefferson will be heavily involved with the Vikings over the remaining five games of the regular season in the midst of their playoff chase.
Whoever can get the ball to Jefferson in an accurate and timely manner will be the quarterback Kevin O’Connell chooses to attack.
“Justin’s role in our offense has always been very, very important since day one since we’ve been here,” O’Connell said on ESPN on Nov.
28.
“Anytime you can incorporate the best receivers in football into your offense, not only can you get Justin up to speed and allow him to have a big impact on the football game, but the quarterback position is a mistake.
” “There will be opportunities to play an important role in this.
” ” “Everyone who plays quarterback recognizes the intent behind the play, whether Justin is the primary target or arrives quickly and efficiently based on coverage or the look of the defense.
I’m going to make sure you understand.
’ Where you go with football.
After all, that’s the nature of the NFL passing game.
It’s about understanding that ‘s rhythm, timing and defense can and will take some away, but it’s about progressing in rhythm.
” After his return, the Vikings’ Week 14 game against the Chance Raiders changed dramatically.
The major sportsbooks on Sunday have the Vikings as the 3-point favorite, but Heavy’s Quarter 4 prediction engine has Minnesota as the 6-point favorite, with Jefferson trending back into action for the first time in seven games.
.
The game is still expected to be low scoring as both teams will be without their starting quarterbacks.
Las Vegas is expected to start with fourth-round rookie Aidan O’Connell, who is 2-3 with four touchdowns and six interceptions this season.
The Raiders only scored over 20 points once with him under center.
