Vikes lose 6 players to injury in preseason game

MINNEAPOLIS -- Sloppy play, penalties and injuries marred the Vikings in a 14-10 preseason loss to the Jaguars, the latter of which might have a lasting effect as the team prepares for Week 1.

Minnesota had six players exit Saturday's game with injuries and not return. Three players were carted off the field, including defensive end Ade Aruna (knee), offensive lineman Cedrick Lang (lower leg) and fullback Johnny Stanton (lower leg).

Cornerback Mackensie Alexander sustained an ankle injury in the first quarter and was listed as questionable to return.
