Taylor Heinicke has seen his bid to try and win the No. 2 quarterback job took a hit during the Minnesota Vikings' 20-13 preseason loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Friday night.

According to Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the signal-caller was injured in the fourth quarter when he dove for a first down and landed on his right arm in the process.

This comes on the heels of the Vikings announcing that they have signed former University of Minnesota quarterback Mitch Leidner to the roster, which caught many fans off guard. The move now makes sense on the heels of the injury concern to Heinicke.

As of now, Case Keenum looks to be in the driver's seat for the backup job to Sam Bradford, but having only two healthy quarterbacks is a less than ideal situation. Leidner at least gives the team a third arm if need be.

It appears that the injury is not expected to be something that keeps him out for a long period of time, but he will miss a few days of snaps to get back into the backup competition.
