The Minnesota Vikings cut cornerback A.J. Jefferson on Monday morning, hours after he was jailed for probable cause of domestic assault.

Jefferson, 25, was arrested by Eden Prairie police and taken into Hennepin County Jail at 6:57 a.m. CT Monday, Hennepin County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Jennifer Johnson told USA TODAY Sports.

No bail had been set as of 11:45 a.m. CT, Johnson said, adding that prosecutors had until Wednesday to charge him. No further information on the arrest was immediately available.

Jefferson played in the Vikings' tie against the Packers on Sunday in Green Bay. He spent the first two seasons of his career with the Arizona Cardinals, who traded him to the Vikings on cutdown weekend in 2012 for a late-round draft pick.

Vikings spokesmen did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday morning, and Jefferson was cut less than an hour later. He will be subject to waivers.

It's the second known arrest this month of a Vikings player. Receiver Jerome Simpson, who was arrested Nov. 9 for DUI, remains with the team and has played the past two games.

In 2011, Vikings cornerback Chris Cook was arrested for domestic battery, was suspended for one game and spent the rest of the season on paid leave. He was acquitted after the season and remains with the team.
