  "account": "Minnesota Vikings left guard Donovan Jackson suffered a devastating injury during Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins, according to team spokesman Kevin O'Connell. The 24th overall pick in the 2025 draft tore his meniscus and will undergo surgery, likely sidelining him for the rest of the regular season. O'Connell expressed disappointment, stating that the injury marks a significant setback for the talented offensive lineman. Jackson, who made his 18th career start, was immediately aware of his issue and sought medical assistance after a play in the first quarter. Despite the injury, the Vikings remain committed to supporting Jackson and maintaining his role within the offensive line.",
