The Minnesota Vikings have been hit hard by injuries this season and in last week’s victory over the New York Jets, the team lost three starters due to injury. While it may be too soon to know the exact status of Xavier Rhodes (ankle) and Anthony Barr (hamstring), the pieces may be falling into place when it comes to starting guard Tom Compton.
Compton left Sunday’s victory with what was classified as a knee injury and on Wednesday, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero shed some light on the issue.
