Minnesota Vikings standout offensive tackle Brian O'Neill (Achilles) was placed on the Injured Reserve on Tuesday after suffering a partially torn Achilles last week, according to sources. He will miss the rest of the season, including playoffs, and is on the road to recovery. It's a big loss for the Vikings offensive line as they wrap up the regular season this weekend and get ready for the playoffs. As of right now, they are the No. 3 seed in the NFC. If they stay there, they'll be hosting the New York Giants in the first round of the postseason. With O'Neill out the rest of the way, the Vikings will be hoping that Oli Udoh can hold down the fort as the starting right tackle.
