Garrett Bradbury (back) leaves game with injury

Not a great start for the Vikings center

The Minnesota Vikings saw their first injury of the regular season in the first quarter of the season opener. Center Garrett Bradbury exited the game with a back injury.

Last season, Bradbury missed the last five regular season games with a back injury that he suffered at the end of November. He re-aggravated it after the game against the Indianapolis Colts when he was involved in a fender bender.

This isn’t what the Vikings would like to see, especially with Bradbury having improved at the center position. He is replaced on the field by Austin Schlottmann and is questionable to return at the time of this writing.
