A popular sports doctor and injury expert has shared a take on Justin Jefferson’s fitness setback following Friday’s announcement.

The Minnesota Vikings revealed having shut the wide receiver down following a hamstring injury sustained in practice on Thursday.

Jefferson started the day’s session but went off early after feeling tightness in his leg.

Head coach Kevin O’Connell told reporters the wideout is dealing with a minor strain, but they are being cautious and plan to re-evaluate him next week

“We avoided anything serious,” O’Connell said. “I see no concerns in regards to the season opener, and I have no worry at all that we’ll be able to get Justin ready to go for the regular season.”

Dr. Jesse Morse has shared a video in which he voices his expert opinion on the matter, saying he’s not “super concerned. ” However, this could be a big problem if it’s a re-injury to the previously problematic area that sidelined the wideout for seven games in 2023.

Justin Jefferson also spoke to reporters on Friday, echoing his head coach in terms of the precautionary approach.

“With the past recent injuries and the stuff I went through before, just taking precaution and understanding that it’s the second day of camp, not the 30th,” he said. “Just making sure that I’m fully healthy and I’m good to go, especially when the season starts.”

The Vikings are expected to release another update next week.

Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
