NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson is available to play against the New Orleans Saints in his return Sunday to his hometown and the stadium where he won a national title with LSU.
Fellow New Orleans-area native Odell Beckham Jr. will not be in Minnesota's lineup — nor will receiver Jordan Addison, who was questionable with a hamstring injury.
Jefferson, a four-time Pro Bowl selection now in his seventh NFL season, had 13 catches for 179 yards and two touchdowns in Minnesota's first three games this season before injuring his ankle and sitting out the Vikings' Week 4 victory over Miami.
Meanwhile, Saints linebacker Jaylan Ford and cornerback Lorenzo Styles are set to make their 2026 regular-season debuts after returning to practice this week and being activated off the injured reserve list. Both had been listed as questionable on the week's final injury report.
Saints rookie defensive tackle Christen Miller, a second-round draft choice out of Georgia, also is returning to the lineup for the first time since Week 1. He'd been listed as questionable with an illness.
