US EditionVikings RT Brian O’Neill Has MCL Sprain, Considered Week-to-Week
Brian O'Neill's sprained MCL puts Vikings' offensive line under strain as he is listed week-to-week with no surgery needed, risking missing next week's London game.
- On Sunday, Minnesota Vikings right tackle Brian O'Neill left the Dublin game with a knee injury, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported during the Vikings' loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
- The Vikings were already missing left guard Donovan Jackson after wrist surgery, and starting center Ryan Kelly left Sunday's game with a concussion, weakening the Minnesota Vikings offensive line.
- Following an MRI, reports confirmed MRI results listed Brian O'Neill week-to-week with no surgery required, and swing tackle Justin Skule replaced him on Sunday.
- Missing Week 5 would sideline him for the Cleveland Browns at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, and short-term injured reserve would require a minimum four-game absence despite the Vikings bye week.
- O'Neill, a two-time Pro Bowl tackle with a 72.4 PFF grade, can rehab at Hanbury Manor, easing recovery while Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz faced a 32% pressure rate.
