Easton Fractured his ankle.
Nick Easton fractured his right ankle and will have surgery, per Mike Zimmer | |
Oh no, that royally sucks.
shit.... that hurts.
Damn - I knew it was an ankle injury and the cart certainly wasn't a good sign. Ugh... I was really hoping we would get through the last 2 games without an injury.
And no cart to help get him off the field. This news SUCKS!!

So does Sirles fill his spot? Isadora? Do we need to move guys around the rest of the line? Or plug and play with one spot on the line?
Son of a bitch!! Injuries have bit the Vikings in the past during playoff runs... Gotta hope this isn't the start of another run of them. :/ :'(
Sirles wasn't having a good night. Thankfully we have some depth to at least partially cover this loss. Let's just get Sirles some first team reps and work with our starters
Damn that sucks. I know he was rolled up on and it wasn't the fields fault, but damn that field was in absolute horseshit shape.
Didn't Isidora start for Easton when he was out earlier?
It sucks that he is out for the rest of the season, but no team makes it to the playoffs unscathed. Hopefully, Sirles and Isadora can step up in his absence and our OL depth doesn't get tested too much. I hope he has a speedy and full recovery.
That was a bummer
These last games are like pre season now, get through 'em & hope for no major injuries
Isodora started for him and played actually better to me. I would start him vs Chi, see how hes doing. With a good game vs Chi i would feel better about him than Sirles
If we had to lose one O-lineman, Easton is the guy. Sirles will replace him and the team won't notice.
Sucks for Nick, but the team can fade this.
You could see his foot was jacked when they showed him on the cart. Sucks, get well soon Nick.
As far as Sirles or Isidora, it's Sirles, Isidora only came in when Reiff went down and they moved Hill to LT and kicked Sirles over to RT from the LG spot he had been playing in Eastons absence.
Hate losing a key guy like this on the line.
I thought Isadora got a start or two earlier in the season over Sirles?
Just checked-he started the Cleveland game fyi

Sirles was out due to a knee injury that week so they had to start Isidora. Sirles has been primary backup at LG all season.
How long does it take to come back from a fracture? i thought Rodgers came back in six weeks. Could he get back for a Super Bowl appearance? SB is seven weeks from today.

Hopefully they have a OG on speed dial, non are on the PS that I see.@"NodakViking" said: I thought Isadora got a start or two earlier in the season over Sirles?Just checked-he started the Cleveland game fyi
