Final Vikings-Raiders injury Report: Justin Jefferson, Ed Ingram
Eric Hartline-USA TODAY Sports

Justin Jefferson is off the injury report and ready to make his return to action on Sunday after missing the Vikings' last seven games.

Jefferson, the reigning NFL offensive player of the year, has been out since suffering a hamstring injury against the Chiefs back in Week 5. The Vikings won their first five games without him, but are currently on a two-game losing streak after turning the ball over seven times and losing by a total of three points against the Broncos and Bears.

Getting Jefferson back against the Raiders should provide a big boost for the Vikings' offense and quarterback Josh Dobbs in what is essentially a must-win game for Minnesota's playoff hopes.

Two Vikings players are officially listed as questionable: Right guard Ed Ingram and safety Theo Jackson. 

Ingram is dealing with a hip issue and was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday. If he's unable to play, Blake Brandel is next in line. Ingram has never missed a snap since the start of last season.

Jackson, the Vikings' No. 4 safety, is battling through an illness. He plays a handful of defensive snaps and also contributes on special teams. If he's out, Lewis Cine could potentially be in line for his first defensive snaps since his leg injury last year.

The Raiders have not yet released their final injury report. It will be added here when available. Star edge rusher Maxx Crosby is expected to play despite not practicing until Friday.
