Justin Jefferson has suffered another injury following his return from a lengthy injury layoff.
The Vikings receiver missed seven games with a hamstring injury before taking the field against the Raiders on Sunday.
But he was sent to the locker room when he took a huge hit from Las Vegas' Marcus Epps after a catch.
The ball was thrown high over the middle of the field as Jefferson stretched to retrieve the ball.
Jefferson was ultimately ruled out due to a chest injury.

And according to the Fox broadcast of the game, Jefferson is transported to a local hospital in Las Vegas.
The receiver injured his hamstring during a Week 5 loss to the Chiefs in October.
He had two catches for 27 yards before leaving.
Jefferson is considered by many to be the game's best receiver and led the league with 1,809 yards last season.
He is a three-time Pro Bowler and one-time All-Pro.
