The Vikings are not having the best season. It seems that the pandemic has hit this particular team the hardest.
The NFL has been very serious in placing importance on vaccines. They made it a point to let only vaccinated athletes on the field.
Even after taking so many precautions, players are falling victim to the deathly disease.
This week alone, four players from the Vikings got placed on the reserve. Dakota Dozier is another one who got added to the list.
As the NFL does not require the quarantining of fully vaccinated players, the athletes who were in contact with the infected ones face more danger.
