Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson updated his injury status in a unique way Tuesday night.
Instead of waiting for a social media post from an NFL insider or Minnesota’s injury report, Jefferson—who suffered a chest injury in the second quarter of the Vikings’ 3–0 win over the Raiders on Sunday—broke the news himself at a charity event in a heartfelt exchange with a young fan.
“You going to play on Saturday?” a young fan asked Jefferson during a holiday shopping spree for Minnesota families from The Salvation Army.

1. Did you know that Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito is Italian? I know that nobody is discussing that or leaning into stereotypes about him and his agent, Sean Stellato, who drew a lot of attention after appearing on Monday Night Football this week, for their nationality.
While 99% of the stuff I’ve seen about DeVito and his agent being Italian has been painfully unoriginal and not creative in any way, shape or form, here is a piece of content that is actually amusing.
The reason this video worked is because it’s more about The Sopranos than DeVito.

Raiola is committed to the Georgia Bulldogs, but it appears things are trending for him to end up playing for the Nebraska Cornhuskers – the same school his dad played at.
The theories and rumors about the five star QB have been flying like cold beers on a hot summer day. One internet message board poster floated the idea of stopping a commercial flight from taking off in order to prevent Raiola from taking a visit.
Georgia fans are seriously at the point where they’re hatching James Bond plots over a QB recruit.
