Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, Matthew Collar here.

0:10.3

And guess what?

0:12.0

Justin Jefferson was back on the Minnesota Vikings practice field today.

0:18.2

A big day toward his return to the field. And we can stop maybe asking,

0:25.3

when is Justin Jefferson coming back? What's going on there? Et cetera, et cetera. He did not

0:30.8

participate in everything today as he worked toward his return from a mild hamstring injury, which has been, I guess,

0:39.3

uh, maybe a questionable about the world, the word mild, um, because it seemed a little

0:45.8

1:33.9

some reps and taking part in the walkthrough portion, which was pretty much the most of the

1:41.1

practice today. It was not an intense practice. This is not one that we can break down every single J.J. McCarthy throw.

1:48.6

Although I do think, oh, it is mild as less than medium, huh?

1:53.0

Okay.

1:53.6

So maybe this was medium.

1:55.3

This was medium.

1:56.7

And maybe not mild.
