The initial call made Tuesday afternoon from the Vikings’ training facility requesting help from paramedics described Teddy Bridgewater’s injury as a dislocated knee, per multiple reports.

The Vikings still haven’t announced the extent of the injury. Vikings Coach Mike Zimmer told reporters later Tuesday afternoon that Bridgewater had been sedated and was at a local hospital undergoing an MRI, and that the team expected that Bridgewater would miss the entire 2016 season.

A further update on his status is expected later Tuesday night or Wednesday morning.

The Vikings ended practice when Bridgewater suffered what was described as a “gruesome” injury, and other players were visibly upset as the team’s medical staff tended to Bridgewater.
