Vikings Running Back Adrian Peterson Planning To Have Knee Surgery

Vikings Running Back Adrian Peterson Planning To Have Knee Surgery

Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson appears to be headed for surgery after he suffered a right knee injury in last week’s win over the Green bay Packers. Peterson wasn’t playing well before the injury happened. He’s ran for just 50 yards on 31 carries, and the Vikings are the only team without 100 rushing yards through the first two games combined. Still, Peterson remains one of the best players in the league and his loss for any amount of games would be a huge blow to an offense with just two offensive touchdowns all season. Fantasy football owners should look to the waiver wire or Vikings backup running backs Jerick McKinnon ... NESN.com

Rabat undergoes successful surgery

Michael Bartholemy - Team Principal: “A fractured collarbone was a high price for Tito to pay in what looked like an innocuous crash at the Italian Grand Prix. The good news is that the damage wasn’t as extensive as first feared and that he was able to return to Barcelona quickly for treatment. The surgery, carried out by Doctors Mir and Marlet, was a success, but we need to confer with them again later this week before deciding with Tito at which race he will return. We know Tito will be keen to get back on the bike as soon as possible, but we want him to be fully fit before he does so.”...
