Vikings wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson said he wasn't feeling 100 percent, dealing with a lingering left hip injury in the 17-3 loss against the Lions on Sunday.

Patterson rotated with wide receiver Charles Johnson on drives to remain fresh. It didn't appear that Patterson needed to be attended to on the sideline with the injury, but he didn't remain on the field throughout the game.

"I don't feel like I'm 100 percent," Patterson said. "I should be next week. Just keep getting treatment and keep grinding in treatment and do what it takes."

Patterson initially injured the hip last week against the Packers, missing most of the second half in the 42-10 loss.

Patterson waived off Johnson midway through the fourth quarter on the Vikings only scoring drive – a 40-yard field goal from kicker Blair Walsh. On the 11-play, 45 yard drive, Patterson had first catch in the game and wanted to stay in with the adrenaline flowing. He finished with two catches for 15 yards on eight targets and one carry, a halfback toss, for two yards.

"I'm going to be out there," Patterson said. "I don't feel like I need to let my teammates down. Thursday, I sat out the whole second half. I can't let that happen again."

Johnson, who was signed off the Browns practice squad three weeks ago, finished with two catches for 22 yards. He's received more snaps with Patterson's injury over the last two games.

"It was good for me, and I'm still learning and growing," Johnson said.

The offense struggled with rookie quarterback Teddy Bridgewater throwing three interceptions, the offensive line allowing eight sacks and the receivers failing to gain separation from defensive backs.

"It all starts with the whole offense," Patterson said. "We've got to get open more for Teddy to see us and get the ball to us.

"It's our job, no matter if they're the No. 1 defense or the No. 32 defense. We got to do a heck of a job getting open, us receivers. It all starts on the offense. We did a poor job and next week we'll try and make up for it."
