Jake Long injury

The injuries keep on coming to the Minnesota Vikings’ offensive line.

Tackle Jake Long suffered a torn Achilles’ tendon, Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer announced after Sunday’s game.

Jake Long tore his Achilles, which will end his season. Matt Kalil is eligible to come off IR in two weeks, and let's hope he ready.

Long went down with the injury in the final minute of the game and was carted off the field. He was pointing at his ankle as he was taken off the field.

The former No. 1 overall pick was signed last month after the Vikings lost Andre Smith and Matt Kalil to injuries. The Vikings only got a few games out of Long before losing him to injury.

Quarterback Sam Bradford was sacked three times in the game, including twice in the final minute.
