The Minnesota Vikings appear to have lost rookie safety Lewis Cine to a serious injury.
The first-round pick out of Georgia suffered a lower leg fracture during Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints, and will remain in London to undergo surgery, head coach Kevin O’Connell told the media after the game.
A versatile playmaker who helped lead the national champs’ dominant defense last season, Cine had already shown flashes of potential, but might be dealing with a season-ending injury just as his rookie campaign was getting underway.
Hopefully, he’s able to make a full recovery, and still be able to reach his lofty ceiling.
