Minnesota Vikings send Adrian Peterson to injured reserve

That much is certain. Yes, with his history and career stats, one could be anxious about how he will perform.

The Minnesota Vikings (2-0) defeated the Green Bay Packers (1-1) in the opening game at U.S Bank Stadium Sunday night, 17-14. He has what is known as “bucket handle tear” and that could mean a minimum of 3-4 months and up to six months sidelined, according to ESPN. Peterson’s wife said Monday that he was already walking after the injury, and Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said it was possible Peterson would play Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. Peterson has rushed for just 50 yards on 31 carries through two games after leading the National Football League with 1,485 yards last season.

LAS VEGAS (AP) – The Raiders are another step closer to calling Las Vegas home.

The Vikings said Peterson’s rehabilitation process will begin immediately.

WAYNES WORLD: The knee injury that kept Vikings cornerback Xavier Rhodes out of the first two games thrust Trae Waynes, the team’s first-round draft pick a year ago, into an elevated role. Very few teams could go without so many starters and still play at high levels.

Colts quarterback Andrew Luck sat out practice Wednesday after taking 16 hits in Sunday’s loss to the Broncos.

“It’s just a really unusual circumstance”, he said.

On Wednesday, Revis says he believes that story came from his agents, although Bleacher Report’s Jason Cole tweeted last week that it was “people who worked out with Revis”. With Garoppolo injured, wide receiver Julian Edelman is the team’s backup quarterback. That included a slick third-quarter touchdown catch in which he ran to the inside of Packers cornerback Damarious Randall, veered outside as if he were going to run a corner route, then curled behind Randall to run back inside to complete the post pattern.

The NFL said its plans are for Sunday’s game between the Minnesota Vikings and Carolina Panthers to be played as scheduled, although the league will continue to monitor the ongoing violent protests that have gripped.

The Bradford deal could be the rare trade that works out well for both teams. While years of seasoning would lead to them putting an increased faith in McKinnon, chances are the two of them will still have a fairly equitable split, but one that tilts 60/40 for McKinnon rather than the rough 60/40 split in Asiata’s favor in 2014. Bosa missed all of training camp due to a contract dispute and developed a hamstring injury after signing with the Chargers. I guess not. Apparently there aren’t enough reporters at Winter Park, after all (full disclosure and CYA-I was in the locker room getting reaction to the Peterson and Kalil news and talking to Hillman when Bradford spoke to the media-just sayin’).
