Earlier this week, we received the news that Minnesota Vikings guard Nick Easton was seeking a second opinion on the neck and back injuries that he’s been dealing with since the early portions of Training Camp.
Apparently the second opinion wasn’t any better than the first one.
Vikings’ G Nick Easton underwent surgery this morning to correct a herniated disc in his neck and his season is likely over, per his agent Joe Linta. But it is not expected to be a career-ending injury.
