For a second-straight season, Vikings wide receiver Olabisi Johnson is out for the year with a torn ACL.
This is a rough break for the fourth-year receiver whom the Vikings drafted in the seventh round in 2019 out of Colorado State. After two quality seasons, Johnson was poised to have a breakout season in a similar way to how K.J. Osborn did in 2021.
Johnson tore his ACL for the first time in the second week of training camp, ending his season. This is a really tough break for Johnson, as he had earned a roster spot.
#Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell on WR Bisi Johnson injury: "I have my fingers crossed that it’s going to be some positive news in some capacity because (Johnson has) earned a right in my opinion to be on our football team."

Where do the Vikings go from here? After the injury last night, I added Trishton Jackson to the final 53-man roster projection and Johnson will be placed on season-ending injured reserve.
We wish Johnson a speedy recovery and that he comes back better than ever.
