Source: Vikes QB hurt helping friend get into apt.

MANKATO, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings quarterback Taylor Heinicke is expected to start the season on the non-football injury list and miss up to three months after he severed a tendon in his left foot while trying to help a friend get back into his apartment earlier this month.

Heinicke and his friend returned from a movie to find they were locked out of the friend's apartment, a league source said, clarifying earlier reports that the apartment was Heinicke's.
