Jefferson not worried after injuring quad in win

Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson is not expecting to miss any games after leaving the team's 23-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers because of a bruised right quadriceps.

"I'm not seriously injured," Jefferson said. "So that's the main important thing. So, it's just all about getting to the training room, making sure my body is right for next week, and I'll be ready to go next Sunday."

Jefferson caught four passes for 133 yards, including a career-long 97-yard touchdown in the second quarter, before suffering the injury while blocking on a running play with 13:06 remaining in the game. He appeared to collide with 49ers linebacker Fred Warner and Vikings center Garrett Bradbury on the play and was helped off the field by medical officials.

Jefferson missed seven games last season because of a torn hamstring in the same leg. But neither he nor coach Kevin O'Connell appeared concerned about the long-term prognosis of his most recent injury. The Vikings host the Houston Texans in Week 3 at U.S. Bank Stadium.

"It's pretty sore," O'Connell said. "[But] he's already up and moving, and we'll just treat that thing and hopefully he'll be day-to-day, and we'll see how his status looks for next week."

ESPN's Lindsey Thiry contributed to this story.
