Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph injured his foot while on a touchdown catch against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday that could sideline him for a significant amount of time.

Rudolph caught a pass in the third quarter and powered his way into the end zone, but it appeared he injured himself on the play and did not return.
