(WCCO) — The Minnesota Vikings beat the NFC North-leading Green Bay Packers Sunday. But the 28-22 win came at a cost to their defensive secondary, with three injuries just among the cornerbacks.
Mark Fields endured the strangest among them. It was a punctured lung from the shoe of the receiver he was tackling. The injury occurred late in the third quarter, when Fields brought down Packers receiver Equanimeous St. Brown after a 12-yard catch from Aaron Rodgers. It was just his second game of the season after coming up from the practice squad.
