Football Adrian Peterson tore his lateral collateral ligament
Quote:
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson will miss Sunday's game against Oakland with a torn ligament in his right knee, coach Brad Childress said Monday.

Childress said Peterson tore his lateral collateral ligament in the Vikings' 34-0 loss to Green Bay. Peterson will not require surgery, Childress said.

"The good news is that the knee is otherwise stable and the injury is isolated to that ligament," Childress said. "I'm told that's a good-healing ligament."

Childress said the injury is not a season-ending injury, but he did not talk about when Peterson might be back.

"I'm real hesitant to put a timeline on that thing," Childress said.

The coach was informed by team doctors that ligament tears are graded on a three-point scale, with three being the worst.

Childress said he was told that Peterson's tear is "two-plus," but is not as serious as if it were an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), which would have required surgery and ended Peterson's brilliant rookie season.

"This is not one of those," Childress said.

Peterson was injured in the third quarter on Sunday in a 34-0 loss at Green Bay. Packers cornerback Al Harris hit him in the knee just as Peterson was about to make a cut downfield, and the star rookie writhed in pain for several minutes in a scary scene.

Losing the only offensive star they have will be a devastating blow to a unit that has struggled in every game that Peterson has not topped 200 yards rushing this season. It's been a one-man show in Minnesota, with Peterson accounting for 1,081 of the team's 1,551 yards rushing and eight of the team's 10 rushing touchdowns.

The No. 7 overall pick out of Oklahoma broke the single-game rushing record two weeks ago against San Diego, racking up 296 yards to put him on pace to smash Eric Dickerson's record for yards rushing by a rookie in a single season.

Now the Vikings will turn to veteran Chester Taylor, who topped 1,200 yards rushing last season and has been solid in spot duty behind Peterson this year. Taylor is averaging 5 yards per carry in a backup role.

Well atleast it isn't a season ending injury.

Re: Adrian Peterson tore his lateral collateral ligament
It's probably going to be close enough. I can't see him coming back much sooner than 4-6 weeks. Too bad. He would have led the NFL in rushing in his rookie season.

I think I heard he is only going to miss one game.

Re: Adrian Peterson tore his lateral collateral ligament
I wouldn't rush AD back, you have a virtual shot of nothing of making the playoffs. You gain nothing by bringing him back too early, other than more injuries, you still have Chester Taylor to run the ball. Let AD Heal up to 100% and bring him back.

Overselling. That's how you do it.

Re: Adrian Peterson tore his lateral collateral ligament
He'll be in the Pro Bowl no doubt.

If I were him I would aim for that if nothing at all.

I agree with Mike....Vikings need to let him rehab, there's no way they're in the playoffs beyond first round if at all this year.

Sorry A-bomb.

If they're building for the future they won't.

Most teams think long term....there's nothing that can change about their playoff hopes this season by bringing him back but he would help win games in the future if he is 100% healthy.
