NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Minnesota Vikings' WR Justin Jefferson suffered an ankle injury in Week 3 but initial reports suggest it is not serious, and he may play in Week 4 against the Dolphins. Jefferson left the game early after two catches for 32 yards.
- Vikings are restructuring contracts for Justin Jefferson and LT Christian Darrisaw to free up salary cap space ahead of the new league year, as they currently rank last in cap availability.
- Steelers DB Jalen Ramsey is dealing with a new wrist injury and CB Brandin Echols is in concussion protocol, likely missing Week 4; Ramsey's status for the Thursday game against the Browns is uncertain.
- Bills activated DT Phidarian Mathis from suspension, making him eligible to play starting Week 4 against the Patriots after serving a three-game suspension.
- Giants confirmed that pass rusher Brian Burns suffered a season-ending torn ACL in Week 3, and QB Jameis Winston remains the starting quarterback despite poor performance in the first two games.
