Minnesota Vikings running back Bishop Sankey will reportedly miss the entire 2017 NFL season because of a torn ACL.

Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, an MRI taken Friday showed the damage.

The Vikings signed Sankey to their practice squad in November, and he agreed to a reserve/futures contract with the team in January. That meant Minnesota would keep his rights for the 2017 season with the hope of getting something from the 2014 second-round pick.

The 24-year-old Sankey was injured in the third quarter of Thursday's preseason game against the Buffalo Bills at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
