HUGE Injury News - Adrian Peterson

Adrian Peterson has a torn ligament in his knee.
"Luckily", it is his Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) rather than his ACL, MCL or PCL. This should allow him to return yet this season.
Also, the Vikings are claiming that Purple Jesus could even return to practice early in Week 12.
THe consensus opinion, however, puts All Day out for 2-4 weeks and I have absolutely no idea why the Vikings would risk running their prize player back. The Vikings are in the midst of a bad season and shouldn't be willing to risk further injury to Peterson's already torn knee.

Chester Taylor's value gets a slight bump, but do not get carried away here. Apparently he might only start for one week and he is nowhere near the gamebreaker that Peterson is. The Vikings still have no passing game to take the pressure off.
