Justin Jefferson Not to be activated vs. Bears

The Vikings are not expected to activate Jefferson (hamstring) for Monday night's divisional matchup against Chicago, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

The Vikings will continue to take a cautious approach to the star wide receiver's recovery, with a bye week coming up after Monday's divisional contest. This will mark Jefferson's seventh consecutive missed game, though the expectation is that he will resume practicing in full after the bye and be 100 percent healthy Week 14 on the road against Las Vegas. Jefferson's inactive status stands to become official at least 90 minutes before Sunday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, leaving Jordan Addison, K.J. Osborn and T.J. Hockenson as Joshua Dobbs' top pass-catchers.
