A fully vaccinated player on the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings was taken to a hospital’s emergency room due to trouble breathing after contracting COVID-19, said head coach Mike Zimmer on Wednesday.

“One of our players that was vaccinated, he had to go to the ER last night because of COVID. It’s serious stuff,” Zimmer told reporters, without naming the player. “Like 29 guys are getting tested because of close contact, including myself.”
