Adrian Peterson's Injury

[Burhead]

Just saw the replay, it was straight nasty. I hate to say it but injuries like that look the career ending types.

 

[YankeeVol]

Probably a torn ligament or 2. Shouldn't be career ending.

Recovery time for that takes up to 12 months...see you in 2013, AD

 

[DocVOLiday]

Looked like mcgahee's but sideways

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Ugly stuff. Said they lost Ponder to a concussion as well.

Bears' Johnny Knox had an ugly back injury last week.

 

[Calculon]

What happened?

 

[YankeeVol]

Got hit on the knee

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Blow to the side of the knee. Bent it sideways pretty good.

 

[Calculon]

Ouch. That is sad to hear.

 

[YankeeVol]

Reports are that it's a torn ACL and MCL.

Feel bad for the guy and hope for him to have a speedy recovery. Nothing close to a Vikings fan, but you have to appreciate how he plays the game.

Stuff like this is why I have no problem with running backs holding out for good contracts. God speed on the recovery.

 

[YankeeVol]

Will probably miss about half of next season.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

I bet the Vikings are glad they gave him a contract.

I'm sure they are. Regardless of getting hurt, he's still the best RB in the league

Either way, him potentially missing an entire year is going to kill any hope that team has for next season, too.
