Minnesota Vikings confirm Kyle Rudolph out for a month

The Minnesota Vikings have announced that tight end Kyle Rudolph will miss at least a month of the season with a fractured foot.

The injury occurred in the third quarter of his side's defeat to the Dallas Cowboys on his 31-yard reception for a touchdown when he powered through several tackles to get to the end zone.

Rudolph was forced to leave the field after the incident and will now be out until at least week 14 of the Vikings' campaign.

The Vikings are 1-7 in their season after week nine.
