Minnesota Vikings: Tackle Jake Long suffers Achilles injury

The news for Minnesota Vikings fans continues to get worse as the season goes on. Injuries are piling up for the football team, and they don’t seem to be slowing down any time soon with another name being added to the list.

During the November 13, 2016 game against the Washington Redskins, offensive tackle Jake Long went down during the 4th quarter. It was obvious something major was wrong with how he was on the ground, and the news given about his injury after the game confirmed it.

Multiple news sources are reporting that the injury is to his Achilles tendon, not his knee as many first thought.
