The Minnesota Vikings fell 26-20 to the Washington Redskins on Sunday. Continuing a now four game losing streak after starting the season with a hot 5-0 record. The already injury plagued team seen yet another vital member of its squad go down when recently signed left tackle Jake Long was carted off the field with an Achilles injury, likely ending his brief tenure with the Vikings and perhaps even his career.
Long is the latest in a string of injuries that have included quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, star running back Adrian Peterson, left tackle Matt Kalil, and defensive lineman Sharrif Floyd.
