Charles Johnson, Justin Trattou both injured for Vikings

The Vikings had a pair of players go out with injury in the first quarter against San Diego: Receiver Charles Johnson and DE Justin Trattou.

Johnson appeared to be injured while running a deep sideline route that resulted in a pass interference penalty against San Diego. The Chargers defender tugged on Johnson’s jersey while he was running and I don’t know if that caused the injury or not.

Adam Thielen came on in place of Johnson who has not been having a good season (and an injury isn’t going to help the situation).

A few plays later, Trattou went down on the field with a leg injury and had to be carted off.
