Turner and Jefferson injuries
OF the two, Turners is a little more worrisome to me...
Kevin O’Connell said Justin Jefferson had a quad contusion, after a leg-to-leg collision with Fred Warner. He’s sore, O’Connell said, but should be day-to-day.

Said Dallas Turner had a knee issue, but he doesn’t think it’s long-term.
An update from @Vikings HC Kevin O’Connell regarding rookie OLB Dallas Turner stated that he suffered a knee injury.

Doesn’t believe it’s going to be anything serious but further evaluation will decide that. pic.twitter.com/qXS1RKP4Nv
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
Hope both can heal up! We need JJ and Turner has unlimited potential.
One small note on Turner-- that play on the punt return where he slid into a basically motionless football and ushered it over the goalline so the Niners got a touchback rather than being down at the ~4 was one of the most bone-headed plays I've seen in quite a while. Let's not do that again, rook! Lol. Turner is still the man and we won but yeesh haha.
Main thing is getting these studs, among others, healthy.
We'll see, but shouldn't be a big deal for either.
Vikings WR Justin Jefferson (quad bruise) came to the facility "feeling pretty good," per coach Kevin O'Connell and is day-to-day. Same for LB Dallas Turner (knee), per O'Connell.

The thing I was wondering is why is he playing on the punt return, do we really want him in that kind of space and high injury situation? I know that is not where he got hurt, but it made me cringe to see him on special teams.
