Vikings place Tyler Batty on injured reserve after ACL tear

Minnesota Vikings edge rusher Tyler Batty will be placed on injured reserve following a torn ACL. The injury occurred during the team's preseason finale against the Denver Broncos on Friday. Batty had been projected to provide depth for the Vikings' defensive front after the team traded Jonathan Greenard to the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this offseason. With Batty sidelined for the season, Minnesota faces a shortage of options to complement Dallas Turner at the edge position. The front office must now look toward the waiver wire or consider positional changes to address the depleted depth chart before the start of the regular season.
