The San Francisco 49ers won't have to plan for wide receiver Justin Jefferson when the defense takes on the Minnesota Vikings in Week 7. The Vikings have placed Jefferson, along with quarterback Kirk Cousin's backup and former 49ers quarterback, Nick Mullens, on injured reserve.
The #Vikings just now placed WR Justin Jefferson and former #49ers QB Nick Mullens, Kirk Cousins' backup, on injured reserve. Neither will be available when the 49ers go there for a Monday night game in Week 7.

Jefferson sustained a hamstring injury during the Vikings' Week 5 game against the Kansas City Chiefs, forcing him to leave the matchup early in the fourth quarter. He will have to miss at least four games before being eligible to return.
Minnesota's loss to Kansas City dropped the team's record to 1-4. Meanwhile, the 49ers, one of two undefeated teams, travel to Cleveland this weekend to play the Browns.
Jefferson has racked up 36 receptions for a team-high 571 yards and has three receiving touchdowns this season.
Mullens is dealing with a back injury.
