Minnesota Vikings star receiver Justin Jefferson is active for Saturday's game against the host Cincinnati Bengals.

Jefferson was listed as questionable after sustaining a chest injury while making a 15-yard catch across the middle on a pass from Josh Dobbs in Minnesota's 3-0 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.

He was limited in practice on Tuesday and Wednesday before being a full participant in Thursday's session.

Jefferson, 24, has 38 catches for 598 yards and three touchdowns in six games this season.

While Jefferson is active, the Vikings (7-6) ruled the following players as inactive for the game: guard Chris Reed, running back Alexander Mattison, offensive tackle Brian O'Neill, wide receiver Jalen Nailor, safety Lewis Cine, tight end Nick Muse and Dobbs.

The Bengals (7-6), in turn, listed halfback Chris Evans, center Trey Hill, defensive tackle Jay Tufele, offensive tackle Jackson Carman and linebacker Joe Bachie as inactive.
