The Minnesota Vikings have three offensive starters questionable for Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.
Justin Jefferson (ankle), Jordan Addison (hamstring), and Brian O'Neill (knee) are all listed as questionable. The encouraging part regarding the receivers is that Jefferson was limited in practice all week, and Addison returned to practice Thursday after sitting out Wednesday.
O'Neill has been dealing with a knee injury for several weeks, so he may just be on this list for the foreseeable future.
Christian Darrisaw (concussion) and CB Chuck Demmings (hamstring) were ruled OUT.
TE Ben Yurosek (ankle) and G Michael Jurgens (elbow) were also listed as questionable, a customary designation for players coming back from injured
reserve during the 21-day window.
Punter Brett Thorson (hamstring) wasn't on the final report after being a full participant all week, so expect to his return to action for the first time since Week 2.
