Minnesota Vikings center John Sullivan was placed on injured reserve-designated to return on Thursday following surgery to remove a herniated disc in his back.

Sullivan underwent the lumbar microdiscectomy on Wednesday.

Players with the designation to return from injured reserve can come back after eight weeks, but Sullivan’s recovery time might not allow him to return that soon.
