Another blow to The already-depleted Minnesota Vikings’ secondary as NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport is reporting that Andrew Booth Jr. will undergo surgery on the knee he injured against Dallas Nov. 21.
#Vikings second-round CB Andrew Booth is having knee surgery today, sources say, with the decision to be made during surgery on which procedure is necessary. There is a chance Booth will miss the rest of the season, but that won’t be evident until post-surgery.

With six weeks left in the season, Booth’s rookie campaign may be over.
Fortunately, to a degree, the timing isn’t worst-case scenario because Akayleb Evans should be back this week from the concussion protocol and Cam Dantzler is eligible to return from injured reserve for the Dec. 11 game at Detroit.
After trading down in the 2022 NFL Draft, the Vikings selected Booth in the second round with the 42nd pick.
More to come.
