    Minnesota linebacker E.J. Henderson (Maryland) broke his leg against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday night in a brutal injury that will apparently sideline him for the season while dealing a serious blow to the Vikings' defensive unit. Henderson fractured his femur while trying to tackle Tim Hightower late in the fourth quarter of Minnesota's 30-17 loss -- his leg twisting violently as he went down. He was taken off the field on a motorized cart after doctors spent several minutes attending to the star linebacker and head coach Brad Childress said Henderson will spend the night in Phoenix and undergo surgery.

    Its looking like a high femur break. Hopefully there is no ligament damage.

    Wow..Horrible injury. Ugh. I hope he has a speedy recovery and a relatively painless rehab. That truly sucks.
