To replace Loadholt on the roster, the Vikings signed former New York Giants UDFA OT Stephen Goodin.
Loadholt tore his Achilles tendon early in Saturday’s preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Rookie T.J. Clemmings has been tabbed to take his place in the starting lineup.
The 6-6, 310-pound Stephen Goodin played college ball at the University of Nebraska at Kearney before being signed as an undrafted free agent by the Giants in 2012.
