Vikings guard Alex Boone suffers hip injury against Panthers

The offensive line of the Minnesota Vikings took another hit during the week 3 game against the Carolina Panthers. Veterans John Sullivan and Phil Loadholt moved on from the team this preseason, leaving holes to be filled. Then, Matt Kalil went down with an injury.

Now, it is recently acquired guard Alex Boone that is facing some trouble. According to an article on the Pioneer Press website, the former 49ers lineman suffered a hip injury during the second quarter of Sunday’s game and it will force him to undergo an MRI.

During the game, Jeremiah Sirles took Boone’s place and played at a pretty high level.
