Minnesota Vikings rookie cornerback Andrew Booth (knee) will miss the rest of the season after undergoing knee surgery on Monday, according to a source. Losing the second-rounder for the rest of the year is a big blow to Minnesota's depth in their beat-up secondary. The good news is that head coach Kevin O'Connell said he's hopeful that Cameron Dantzler (ankle) will come off Injured Reserve soon. Booth started to have a bigger role on defense in Week 10, and he'll finish his first season in the NFL with 12 solo tackles in six games played (one start) for the Vikings. With the 22-year-old out the rest of the way, Kris Boyd is expected to take on a bigger role.
Minnesota Vikings rookie second-round cornerback Andrew Booth (knee) is undergoing knee surgery on Monday, according to sources. There is a chance that Booth will miss the rest of the season, but that won't be clear until after the surgery is complete. Booth popped up on last week's injury report and didn't play in the Thursday night win over the New England Patriots on Thanksgiving. The 22-year-old has recorded 12 solo tackles in his first six NFL games. If he's out for the rest of the season, Kris Boyd is expected to see more playing time in Minnesota's secondary.
