Minnesota Vikings RT Phil Loadholt left Saturday night’s preseason game with an injury and early reports indicate that it is a serious situation.
Loadholt injured himself on the Vikings’ first possession of the game and was replaced by rookie T.J. Clemmings.
Loadholt looks like he's in some pain on the sideline, head in hands as he's checked out by athletic trainer Eric Sugarman.

It wasn’t immediately apparent what happened to Loadholt but he was able to leave the field under his own power.

I talked to Phil Loadholt on Thursday. He was in a great mood about the season. Hopefully, it turns out to be nothing serious.

The Vikings broadcast reported RT Phil Loadholt is being carted off the field with "tears in his eyes." That's not good
