Vikings are relieved Darnold has just a knee bruise and no damage after a late hit
Minnesota quarterback Sam Darnold has a bruised left knee from a late and low hit that sidelined him for one play, a relief to the undefeated Vikings after an MRI exam revealed no structure damage. Darnold was hurt when Houston defensive end Danielle Hunter took him to the turf after a completion late in the third quarter on Sunday during Minnesota's 34-7 victory.
