A Vikings defensive starter has reportedly suffered a pectoral injury during training.
Defensive end Brian Robison sustained the injury on Thursday, according to Peter Schrager and Mike Garafolo of Fox Sports. According to Fox Sports, the 32-year-old Robison will be examined further, though he has indicated he believes he will be OK.
A ninth-year pro, Robison has missed just two games in his NFL career. A starter for the last four seasons for the Vikings, he recorded 24 tackles and 4.5 sacks in 16 games (all starts) in 2014.
Second-year pro Scott Crichton and rookies Danielle Hunter and B.J. Dubose are among the Vikings’ reserve options at defensive end.
UPDATE 5:12 p.m. ET: Matt Vensel of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that Robison’s injury is not thought to be major. Also, according to Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, Robison indicated he was “OK” in a text message.
