Minnesota Vikings superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson was a full participant in practice on Friday and is set to play in Sunday's home game against the Houston Texans.

Jefferson, 25, left last Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers with a quad issue. He was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday.

He had four catches for 133 yards, including a career-long 97-yard touchdown grab before exiting. In two games this season, the three-time Pro Bowler and 2022 Offensive Player of the Year has eight catches for 192 yards and two TDs.

Fellow wide receiver Jordan Addison, who has yet to practice since a Week 1 ankle injury, was ruled out Friday. Jalen Nailor will start again alongside Jefferson after making three catches for 54 yards and a touchdown last Sunday.

Dallas Turner (knee) also was ruled out after not practicing this week, along with fellow Minnesota linebacker Ivan Pace Jr. (quad/ankle), who was limited on Wednesday and Thursday before sitting out Friday's practice.
