Mike Zimmer says Xavier Rhodes’ injury is ‘very, very mild’

Following the team’s win over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night, there were some who feared that Minnesota Vikings All-Pro cornerback Xavier Rhodes possibly suffered a pretty serious leg injury.

Rhodes was seen leaving the field with a limp during the final minutes of Sunday’s game and he was unable to play for the rest of the night. Some online doctors even thought that the Vikings cornerback suffered a very serious injury to his hamstring.

Despite the pessimistic speculation that came shortly after Rhodes went down, Minnesota head coach Mike Zimmer provided an update about his corner on Monday.
