The Minnesota Vikings suffered a significant setback on Sunday, September 27, after losing tight end Josh Oliver to an undisclosed injury, as reported by ESPN's Kevin Seifert. Oliver, who also serves as a crucial blocker in the run game, left the game during the fourth quarter. This injury comes on the heels of Justin Jefferson's own injury early in the team's Week 3 victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
