Suffers serious injury
Iloka (knee) was placed on injured reserve by the Vikings on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
This is a rough break for the veteran, as Iloka suffered a torn ACL during Wednesday's practice, per Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Iloka will now likely need surgery and hit the rehab process, as it's unclear if he'll play in the NFL again. With both he and Myles Dorn (undisclosed) residing on IR, Josh Metellus is on the only health depth safety currently on the roster.

Iloka has become a steady source of tackles as the Bengals' starting free safety, notching 70-plus tackles in three of the last four seasons, including 80 in 2017. Those tackles haven't materialized in too many big plays, however -- he has no career sacks and only two forced fumbles, both of those coming 2013. He's had eight interceptions over his six-year pro career, with no touchdowns. You can expect more of the same in 2018, presuming that he can stay on the field.
