A flurry of bad news took over the Minnesota Vikings and San Francisco 49ers game on Sunday.
On a single unfortunate play late in the third quarter, Vikings star wide receiver Justin Jefferson and 49ers star defensive lineman Nick Bosa both exited the game and were helped to their respective locker rooms.
Jefferson got caught between 49ers defenders and went down, grabbing at his leg. He managed to walk off the field under his own weight. It was later reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter that he would be questionable to return with a right quad injury.
Bosa got knocked into a scrum of players on the ground and was helped off the field by his team’s medical staff. There was no initial word on what the injury might be for the former defensive player of the year.
49ers tight end George Kittle was also hurt a few plays before that one. He went back to the team’s locker room to be looked at, and according to Schefter, received an IV. However, he later returned to the game with the broadcast confirming that he was just cramping.
