Vikings' Cordarrelle Patterson: Injures shoulder in practice

Patterson left Friday's practice with an apparent shoulder or collarbone injury, The Star Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Patterson fell hard on his left shoulder after making a leaping grab over a teammate. The wideout was down on the field for a few minutes, but coach Mike Zimmer said after practice that he doesn't think the injury is serious. It still won't be surprising if Patterson has X-rays on his shoulder/collarbone area.
