Phil Loadholt is working his way back from a string of injuries that derailed his last two seasons.
Over the first five years of his career, Minnesota Vikings right tackle Phil Loadholt missed only two games. Then, more recently, disaster.
The oversized human missed the final five games of the 2014 season with a torn pectoral muscle and all of 2015 with a torn Achilles tendon. The picture of consistently being available turned to his frame consistently hanging out in the trainer’s room.
“It’s been extremely frustrating considering the fact that I think I only missed a game or two before that over the first couple of years or whatever – however many years,” Loadholt said Wednesday.
