Minnesota Vikings punt returner Charles Gordon was carted off the field in the 28-27 victory over the Green Bay Packers after a horrendous ankle injury received on a punt return in the second quarter.
Gordon, also the teams nickel cornerback, snagged the punt inside the 10 yard line and was met shortly by two Packers defenders. After planting his left leg to change directions, one of the defenders rolled onto his leg, causing the ankle to give. The injury was so gruesome, the announcers of the game refused to show a replay.
Laying motionless on the field, trainer Eric Sugarman and coach Brad Childress rushed out to the field to check on Gordon as his teammates took a knee to pray.
After being lifted by several Vikings players onto the cart, Gordon was met by a group of Packers to say a few words before being carted off to the locker room.
