Minneapolis, MN -- (Sports Network) - Minnesota Vikings middle linebacker E.J. Henderson has reportedly been placed on injured reserve after dislocating two toes on his left foot, ending his season.

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported Monday that Henderson, who leads the Vikings in tackles with 27 entering Monday's game at New Orleans, will be replaced on the active roster by left tackle Bryant McKinnie, who was suspended for the first four games of the season. Henderson suffered the injury in the second quarter of Minnesota's loss to the Tennessee Titans in Week 4.

A sixth-year player out of Maryland, Henderson has missed only three games in his career. He has spent his entire career with the Vikings, recording a career-best 119 tackles and 4.5 sacks in 2007.
