In a breath of fresh air for the Minnesota Vikings, they have been relatively healthy in Saturday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Unfortunately, that good fortune lessened a bit in the third quarter, as defensive tackle Jonathan Bullard left the game with an apparent ankle injury.
Bullard was injured with just under 11 minutes left in the third quarter on a seemingly innocuous rush play from the Bengals. Bullard went down and grabbed his ankle, staying down on the field for several minutes. After being helped to the sidelines by the Vikings’ training staff, Bullard was taken immediately into the blue medical tent for further evaluation.
With Bullard out, rookie fifth-round defensive tackle Jaquelin Roy takes over in the middle of the aggressive Vikings defense. We’ll have more information on Bullard and his specific injury and status as it becomes available.
