Justin Jefferson says he will "for sure" suit up for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans despite dealing with a quad contusion, according to ESPN's Kevin Seifert.
The Minnesota Vikings receiver got banged up in their Week 2 victory over the San Francisco 49ers during the fourth quarter after colliding with linebacker Fred Warner.
Jefferson added that his quad feels "great" and his next goal is to make sure it feels "fantastic" for Sunday.
He was a limited participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday.
The 25-year-old receiver has caught eight passes for 192 yards this season, with 133 coming in the Week 2 win. He also caught a career-long 97-yard touchdown in the triumph over the 49ers.
Minnesota is off to its first 2-0 start since 2016.
