Losing the season’s second game to the Arizona Cardinals is bad enough for the Minnesota Vikings, and bad things always come together: linebacker E.J. Henderson got a brutal injury to his leg and may not be able to play games in his
Vikings jersey for the remaining games.
Henderson fractured his femur while trying to tackle Cardinals running back Tim Hightower late in the fourth quarter and his leg twisted violently as he went down. Being taken off the field on a motorized cart after doctors spent several minutes attending to the star linebacker, Henderson did not return. His brother and teammate, Erin, held Henderson’s hand as they were driven to the locker room.
According to Vikings Coach Brad Childress, Henderson will undergo surgery in Phoenix, indicating the linebacker may be sidelined for longer than the time before season ends. As a key part of Minnesota’s defensive success this season, Henderson may have to leave his team earlier than other teammates again. His last season was also cut short because of injury.
