Vikings at Bengals haltftime recap and boxscore
It was also announced that rookie tight end Tyler Eifert is out for the rest of the game after suffering a forearm injury in the first quarter, though the team is saying he’s out due to a stinger.
He was blocking on a play and had a defender fell onto his arm as he was going to the ground, and he immediately grabbed hold of it and went to the sideline to seek help from the team trainers.
But for him to be ruled out as quickly as he was cannot be a good sign for his ability to play next week vs. the Baltimore Ravens. Gresham is stepping up in his play with a TD grab, but does also have a fumble that the Vikings converted into their only score of the game.
