Andrew Booth Jr. Limps Off Field, Out For Game
The worst thing that can happen in the preseason is injuries. It’s one of the main reasons why the starters play little to no snaps through the three-contest schedule.
With the game of football being as physical and competitive as it is, injuries can be inevitable, especially those that are non-contact.
Unfortunately, that is what happened to Minnesota Vikings CB Andrew Booth Jr. during the second quarter on Saturday night.

Time will tell what the issue with Booth Jr. was, but the clip of him coming up short in the background is not a sight you want to see.
Shortly after he came out of the game, the team announced that Booth Jr. was out with an ankle injury.

We wish Booth Jr. a speedy recovery and hope the injury is nothing serious.
