Vikings RB Bishop Sankey Has Torn ACL, Out For Season

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that an MRI on Vikings RB Bishop Sankey’s knee revealed a torn ACL, which means he’ll miss the entire 2017 season.

The Vikings will likely place Sankey on injured reserve and add someone to their roster in the coming days.

Sankey, 24, was taken with the No. 54 overall pick in 2014. He was in the third year of his four-year, $3.843 million contract and set to make a base salary of $769,408 in 2016 when he was cut loose coming out of the preseason last year.
