Justin Jefferson injured in return to action against Las Vegas Raiders

Jefferson won't return to the game, according to the Vikings.

LAS VEGAS — Vikings superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson left Sunday's game against the Raiders and was transported to a local hospital with an apparent chest injury. 

Jefferson took a big hit from Raider's Safety Marcus Epps after catching a first-down pass from quarterback Josh Dobbs. 

The game against the Raiders was the first time Jefferson suited up with the Vikings since suffering an injury against the Chiefs on Oct. 8.

Jefferson won't return to the game, according to the Vikings. 

He made some team history before going out. He caught a 12-yard pass that moved him past Randy Moss for the most receiving yards by a Vikings player in his first four seasons. Moss had 5,396 yards from 1998-2001, and Jefferson is at 5,423.
