The Minnesota Vikings extended their winning streak to three with a 16-13 win over the New York Giants on Sunday, but the overriding story of the day was injuries.
Vikings running backs Jordan Mason and Aaron Jones were banged up, and while Jones was able to return, he was clearly not at full capacity. Minnesota quarterback J.J. McCarthy also suffered a hand injury that sidelined him for the second half, casting doubt about his status for (at least) Christmas Day against the Detroit Lions.
But one injury from Sunday stands out in a different way than McCarthy's.
