Vikings list star receiver Justin Jefferson as questionable once again

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:32:14 GMT

There’s still nothing definitive regarding star Justin Jefferson as the Vikings prepare to host the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. He was officially listed as questionable heading into the prime-time game as he continues to work his way back from a hamstring injury that has kept him out since last month.Asked for clarity on the situation, head coach Kevin O’Connell refused to tip his hand. He reiterated  the 24-year-old receiver wouldn’t play until he’s 100 percent, then deferred to the medical staff.“I’m lucky I don’t have to make that call,” O’Connell said. “My role in this is making sure the communication between the medical staff, our trainers, Justin, and myself is top notch and everybody’s on the same page minute to minute.”The good news for Jefferson is that he took more reps in practice this week, reaching top speeds while running routes, and rotating in and out during team drills. He’s been steadily progre...

Wild: No time to wallow in the mire

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:32:14 GMT

Wild coach Dean Evason summed up his team’s position on Saturday, and it seemed as if he couldn’t quite believe it.“What have we lost, six games in a row?” he said to reporters after a morning practice at TRIA Rink. “We’ve lost six games in a row.”And to be honest, disbelief isn’t an inappropriate reaction to Minnesota’s 5-9-4 start to the 2023-24 season. Even if you suspected the Wild would miss Matt Dumba and struggle with its $14.7 million in dead salary cap burden, the fourth-fewest points in the NHL seems severe.Evason knows it looks bad, is bad, but said wallowing in the misery of being seven points out of a playoff spot at Thanksgiving isn’t the answer.“We had a good chat with the group today,” he told reporters, “and I don’t know what you guys are writing or talking about, but everything’s absolutely negative around everything. But we can’t be negative. If we just continue to stay that way, then we’re not going to get out of this.”Alternate captain Ma...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:32:14 GMT

ST. LOUIS - An early taste of winter is coming for some, but perhaps not everyone within the St. Louis metro. Overnight, from Saturday evening into Sunday morning, a mix of light rain and wet snow is expected around the region. There could be weather impacts for some as early as 9 p.m. Saturday. Most rain and snow chances should clear by noon Sunday. If you're hoping for some snow, you'll be more likely to see some if you live north of the Interstate 70 corridor. Lincoln, Montgomery and Pike counties are most likely to see some snow this weekend, but don't expect much to accumulate. Parts of St. Charles and Warren counties might also see some snow. In the Metro East, watch for potential snow in Calhoun, Jersey, Macoupin counties. A rain and snow mix is most likely in St. Louis City, plus St. Louis, Jefferson and Franklin counties in Missouri. It's expected a few hours after midnight. Madison and St. Clair counties will likely see similar impacts, but hours later. Most counties in Mi...

DURHAM, N.C.
