Vikings Starting Running Back Adrian Peterson suffered an Ankle Sprain on Sunday. As things were getting worse and worse for the Minnesota Vikings, a big problem occurred. Star running back Adrian Peterson injured his ankle. Peterson was the one man that the Vikings could always rely on to be the big performer. With his injury, it is un-determined how long he will be out for. With Peterson out, the Vikings will turn to young running back Toby Gerhart to perform the lead role duties. Gerhart had a successful college career, in which he won the offensive player of the year award, and he was also one of the five finalists in the Heisman trophy voting in 2009. Peterson & the Vikings are hoping that he will be able to play again within the coming weeks, as he is fewer than 200 yards away from becoming the Vikings all time leading rusher. However, if the Vikings lose him for an extended period of time, you could say that the Vikings have little to no chance at wnning any more games this season. Hopefully Peterson can play through the pain and break the all time leading rusher's record at some point this season. Peterson did have X-Rays on the ankle, and they came out negative, which is a good news for the Vikings, as there is some hope to get him back on the field sooner than expected. Good luck to the Vikings for the rest of the season, and best of luck to Peterson as he tries to have a speedy recovery, so that he can return to the field and help his team win a few more games this season.
