Vikings' Charles Johnson: Dealing with undisclosed injury
Johnson missed Thursday's preseason game and practice earlier this week with an undisclosed injury, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Analysis:
It's likely a minor ailment and he wouldn't have played in the final preseason game even if healthy, but it's something to monitor ahead of Week 1. Johnson will begin the season as Minnesota's No. 2 wide receiver after a strong training camp and preseason. However, he may be the player most hurt by the season-ending injury to Teddy Bridgewater, as the offense may be even more conservative and feature fewer targets under Shaun Hill.
