The Vikings were devastated by injuries today against the Giants. But they still won 16-13 on a day when Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart could not do anything.
Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy was knocked out of the game with a hand injury. Running back Jordan Mason was carted off with an ankle injury. And center Ryan Kelly exited with a concussion.

The Oregon Ducks will be in Portland on Sunday to take on the Gonzaga Bulldogs in a highly-anticipated non-conference matchup at the Moda Center, touted as the Northwest Elite Showdown.
The Ducks enter with a 6-5 record, as they took down UC Davis and Portland by a combined 77 points last week to get back over .500. The two wins were easily the best games by Oregon in the early season, as it appears that head coach Dana Altman has figured out a consistant rotation and is getting the best out of guard Jackson Shelstad and forward Kwame Evans Jr.
Chiefs quarterback Gardner Minshew sustained a left knee injury in the opening minute against the Titans, left the game before halftime and was ruled out.
Georgetown suspended head coach Ed Cooley for one game after he struck a child in the stands with a water bottle in a moment of frustration.

However, the former UConn standout has embraced the freedom to operate as a primary initiator during his stints with the Hornets’ G League affiliate, the Greensboro Swarm, where he is averaging 18.3 points, 8.
