Brian O’Neill partially tore his Achilles on Sunday
Peter van den Berg-USA TODAY SportsEarlier this week when the Minnesota Vikings placed offensive tackle Brian O’Neill on injured reserve, we speculated that he might be able to make it back if the Vikings were to advance to the Super Bowl.
In the unlikely event that happens, O’Neill won’t be back then, either.
The injury that O’Neill suffered on Sunday afternoon turned out to be a partially torn Achilles tendon, according to Vikings’ head coach Kevin O’Connell.
“It was not a full Achilles injury, but it was an injury that did require it being repaired,’’ O’Connell said. “My understanding is he should be able to make a full recovery and be ready and hopefully available to start next season.”
