Minnesota Vikings right tackle Phil Loadholt reportedly suffered a season-ending Achilles injury Saturday night.

Loadholt fell to the ground on the second play of the Vikgins’ game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and was carted off. According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, he suffered a torn Achilles tendon.
