So far, our Vikings have received a ton of brutal news when it comes to the purple pass catchers.
Bisi Johnson, Blake Proehl, and Chad Beebe are all done for the season. In the second preseason game, Adam Thielen left with a thigh bruise (in fairness, it seems minor). In a training camp practice, Justin Jefferson went down with a shoulder injury. Earlier today, we got the unfortunate news that Irv Smith Jr. – everyone’s favorite breakout candidate – is likely done for the year. We’ve therefore seen our depth depleted, our TE1 lost, and our star receiver tandem banged up.
