Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is taking extra precautions this season to prevent another hamstring injury after his 2023 setback. Jefferson, who suffered a hamstring injury last year, is determined to stay healthy and injury-free in 2024.
In a recent interview with ESPN, Jefferson expressed his fear of reinjuring his hamstring and shared that he has been implementing new strategies to protect his body. He emphasized the importance of taking care of his hamstrings and ensuring that he is “injury-proof” for the upcoming season.
Despite missing several games last season due to his hamstring injury, Jefferson still managed to surpass the 1,000-yard mark in just 10 games. With the injury behind him, Jefferson is eager to return to his impressive form from his first three seasons in the NFL.
The former first-round pick has been a standout performer since entering the league in 2020, with three consecutive seasons of over 1,400 receiving yards. His best season came in 2022 when he recorded 1,809 receiving yards and eight touchdowns.
While Jefferson is prioritizing his health and safety, he is also focused on leading the Vikings to success on the field. He is determined to build his confidence and strength to ensure that injuries are no longer a concern and that he can play freely without hesitation.
By taking proactive measures and incorporating new techniques into his routine, Jefferson is setting himself up for a successful and injury-free season. His dedication to staying healthy and strong highlights his commitment to excellence and his team’s success. Viking fans can look forward to seeing Jefferson back in top form and making a significant impact on the field in 2024.
