Vikings lose Xavier Rhodes to apparent hamstring injury in win over Packers

The Minnesota Vikings did a good job of bottling up Aaron Rodgers in Sunday’s win over the Green Bay Packers, but may have lost one of the primary reasons why late in the game.

All-Pro cornerback Xavier Rhodes hobbled off the field holding his right thigh after chasing down Packers receiver Davante Adams on a pass play in the final three minutes of the game.

The game was almost over but Rhodes didn’t return. Head coach Mike Zimmer didn’t provide an update on his status after the game.
