Another NFL pro football player has suffered a devastating injury on the field. On Sunday it was Minnesota Vikings EJ Henderson's broken leg injury that has caused concerned for many Vikings fans.

The play came on a 2nd and 6, with the Arizona Cardinals Tim Hightower rushing the ball for a gain. EJ Henderson was among the players on defense trying to take him down. While it wasn't immediately seen on the play, Henderson was down, and required a cart be brought out to take him back for medical exams. Erin Henderson, EJ's brother, and an inactive member of the Vikings team, was there to comfort his brother as they took him back. Quarterback Brett Favre was shown visibly upset by the injury to his team's defense.

According to the Minnesota Vikings website, Henderson suffered a broken leg, after twisting his leg ackwardly trying to tackle Tim Hightower. This is the second straight year Henderson has suffered a season-ending injury, with the defensive player suffering a toe injury last season.

The Cardinals who were runners-up in last year's Superbowl, ended up winning the game 30-17. The Vikings still lead their division with a record of 10-2, despite the loss and will try to bounce back versus the Cincinatti Bengals (9-3) next week.
