The Minnesota Vikings’ head coach Mike Zimmer talked to the press shortly after preliminary tests were run and said the team believes the injury is relatively minor.

Peterson hobbled off the field during Sunday’s win (US time) over the Green Bay Packers after falling awkwardly near the end of the third quarter. Afterwards, Peterson was seen wearing a large knee brace and was walking on crutches.
His next stop? A weird detour through a restaurant.
Peterson’s injury initially wasn’t believed to be too serious.
There is no telling when Shields will be back, but Randall will need to make adjustments on Sunday when the Packers face the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field.
The Vikings are 2-0 despite some shoddy play from their offensive line. “It gives me a chance to see so many more people because they’re so close”. “So, I thought he did a lot of good things”.
“That really isn’t a great look”. Adrian Peterson is a true freak of nature so I can’t count him out.

“There are two ways to get to the locker room and medical area”, Rand writes. There has to be.
The defense did the rest, sacking Aaron Rodgers five times and producing two turnovers in the fourth quarter that quashed the comeback and sent the crowd of 66,813 into a deafening frenzy in celebration of first regular-season game at U.S. Bank Stadium.
Fans were also up in arms about Peterson’s unusual walk back to the locker room.
The new 73,000-seater US Bank Stadium has a weird new feature with the tunnel from the dressing room weaving through a restaurant and bar. Now, on the weekends, I look for the scores of two teams, the Minnesota Vikings and my Georgia Bulldogs. “It’s loud, for some reason, in this stadium”.
Still, despite their early-season run-game issues, losing Peterson, the reigning rushing champ, for an extended period of time would be a significant blow for the Vikings, who are already without starting quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. However, she said that probably was unlikely considering many National Football League players are able to put surgery off until the end of the season on a torn meniscus if they can play through the injury.

“We just have to find a way to win, like we always do”, coach Mike Zimmer said Monday. “It’s been two weeks”, Rodgers said after the Packers lost 17-14 to the rival Vikings in Minnesota on Sunday night. Zimmer said the timetable for Peterson’s return is uncertain. “They’re both different types of runners, but I think the combination of the two can help us”. “They was throwing on time and when the quarterbacks and receivers throw on time, they’re very tough to stop”. Peterson, who missed nearly the entire 2014 season after being accused of assaulting his four-year-old son, returned to football last year to top the single-season rushing standings.
