Justin Jefferson is hurting just a bit.
It doesn't sound like anything overly serious for the Minnesota Vikings superstar receiver, but it'll be something that bears watching as the summer rolls on.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported this on Friday afternoon:
"Vikings HC Kevin O’Connell has announced WR Justin Jefferson has a mild hamstring strain and will be held out of practice. Jefferson will be re-evaluated next week."
It's never great to hear hamstring, because those are injuries that can recur or nag throughout a season.

It's probably a good thing that it happened now, because the Vikings can give Jefferson ample time to recover with no rush to get back.
If he returns to practice and then makes it through August unscathed, then it's probably no big deal.
But it'll have Vikings fans holding their breaths a little until it all seems healed up.
