Vikings Suffer Significant Loss on Offensive Line: Latest 2015 Wins Total Odds

(Gambling911.com Sports Wire) - The Minnesota Vikings have lost one of their better offensive players. 

Right tackle Phil Loadholt has what is believed to be a torn Achilles tendon on his left foot suffered in Saturday night’s win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

"We think it's a torn Achilles. It's not 100 percent sure yet, but we're pretty sure," Zimmer said. "It's disappointing for Phil, because he worked so hard and because he's a great person,"

A second-round pick in 2009, Loadholt, 29, missed the final five games in 2014 because of a torn pectoral muscle.  He was credited for helping Adrian Peterson amass 2097 yards in 2012.

Loadholt was undergoing an MRI on Sunday (August 16).  A timetable for his likely absence was not immediately known.

The Vikings were heavily favored to win 8 or more regular season games in 2015.
