Minnesota Vikings offensive lineman Josh Samuda suffered an ankle injury during practice on Tuesday that you do not want to see if you have a weak stomach. The Vikings were going through some basic agility drills when Samuda’s ankle bent the wrong way. Ben Garvin of the Pioneer Press was there to capture the aftermath.

Samuda had to be carted off the field. The good news — if there is any — is that it’s only April and the NFL season is still a full four months away. Samuda has plenty of time to recover. The bad news is he will likely be sidelined for a while, as that was up there with some of the nastiest injuries we have ever featured on LBS. Here’s hoping he has a speedy recovery.
