Justin Jefferson officially ruled out vs Bears

Jefferson has been a limited participant in practice and Kevin O’Connell tried to keep the door open to him playing all week. But as expected, the Vikings will rest him one more week, then get the bye week for extra time, before he gets back on the field in week 14.
