Vikings rookie safety Lewis Cine was reportedly transported to a hospital after suffering what appeared to be a serious leg injury in Sunday’s game against the Saints in London, NFL Network’s Jamie Erdahl said on the broadcast.
Cine, the Vikings’ first-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft, sustained the injury while on the field for a punt return in the first quarter of the contest. As he attempted to make a block, he landed awkwardly on his left leg and immediately fell to the ground.
Players from both teams seemed to realize the severity of the injury immediately, as many who were on the field quickly took a knee.
