Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph has a fractured left foot and could be out for a month, coach Leslie Frazier said Monday.
Rudolph suffered the injury after scoring on a 31-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter of the Vikings’ 27-23 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday in Arlington, Texas.
He dragged a couple of Dallas defenders into the end zone on the play, and his left foot twisted awkwardly in the process.
“I think the guy just fell on his foot when he was tackling him,” Frazier said. “It’s a very significant injury for him and for our team.”
The MVP of the Pro Bowl last season, Rudolph leads the team with three touchdown receptions and has been a favorite target of quarterback Christian Ponder.
