    The worst news is that it was a non-contact injury, when someone goes down hard and no one touched them, it's usually serious. My guess is torn ACL.

    Yup. Hearing that the players are cussing out loud and some crying, that says something about the injury. Some even had them picked to make it to H-Town for the Super Bowl. What a blow that would be to their franchise and the fan base.

    Maybe this is worse than what I thought

    Obviously isn't an ACL or Achilles. That wouldn't require an ambulance.

    He broke something or dislocated his knee cap. Dislocation of knee cap is very scary, the patel can get lost in the leg. Ugh.

    Looks like this is going to be really bad.

    Damn. That's terrible. Sounds even worse than your usual ACL/Achilles injury. Farewell to the Vikings.

    Well they still have AD and that's their most important player to the offense, but there's no way they wanted to go into a season with Shaun Hill as the starter.

    Yeah, I mean they won't be bad. Still will have a nice defense and running game. But I have to imagine they will not a potential Super Bowl team like some were predicting.

    It would take a career year by AD.....or Shaun Hill being better than even his own parents think he is.

    Hate to hear that about Bridgewater. After watching that move he put on Adrian Phillips Sunday, and breaking his ankles in the process, I was really looking forward to seeing him play this season.

    Hoping for the best.

    But initial reports had him clutching his knee?? Either way, this sounds gruesome.

    follow trending info on Teddy.

    Seen three people say compound left leg thus far.

    Don't know why someone would make that up. On top of, its doubtful an ambulance was called for an ACL.
