Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell confirmed tight end Josh Oliver tore his biceps during Sunday's game and will undergo surgery to repair the injury.

With Oliver out, the Vikings will need to rely on T.J. Hockenson and Gavin Bartholomew to fill the void left by the three-year veteran. O'Connell expressed that Oliver was a "big part" of the team's offensive plans.
