Justin Jefferson landed on the Minnesota Vikings' injury report once again on Thursday, raising the uncertainty of his availability for Week 4 against the Miami Dolphins.
For the second straight day, Jefferson didn't practice after spraining his ankle in last Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. On Wednesday, Kevin O'Connell told reporters that he considered Jefferson "day-to-day" and that the star wideout doesn't necessarily need the practice reps to be ready for game day. However, his absence on Thursday puts all eyes on Friday's official report.

CB Chuck Demmings (hamstring) and punter Brett Thorson (hamstring) also missed practice for the second straight day. Blake Cashman
(elbow) was limited, and Aaron Jones fully participated after being limited Thursday with a "rest" designation.
